On July 15, 2025, local time, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu explained why the Israeli Air Force suddenly launched an unprovoked attack on the new Syrian army, HTS forces. Netanyahu stated: "We are conducting operations in Syria with strong force, and I hope we do not have to use greater force. It depends on the understanding and actions of the Syrian authorities." Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "Maintaining the demilitarization of southern Syria is in Israel's interest. Israel is committed to protecting the Druze people in Syria. We will not allow another Lebanon situation to be created in southern Syria." Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar issued a warning: "If the Syrian authorities harm the Druze, we will have no choice but to intervene." Currently, the Israeli Defense Forces have publicly released footage showing the Israeli Air Force deploying F-16I, F-15I, and armed drones to bomb the Syrian Interior Ministry police forces entering Suweida city. A large number of HTS armed police and police cars were destroyed, while the Israeli Air Force also bombed the tanks of the new Syrian army and HTS forces. It has always been said that Juraani is an ally of Israel, or hopes to become an ally of Israel. However, Israel has begun a large-scale air strike on Syria for the Druze. It was originally estimated that after the Druze armed militia gave up fighting and many surrendered without a fight, the HTS forces had already withdrawn their main elite forces and a large amount of heavy weapons from Suweida city, only sending a small number of police and armed fighters into the city to sweep. However, the Israelis did not appreciate it and began a fierce bombing of the new Syrian army and HTS forces. The new Syrian army and HTS forces, who have no air defense capability, have now become "easy prey".
