Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is defending his country’s airstrikes deep inside Syria, calling them necessary to protect vulnerable communities and prevent terrorists from gaining power near Israel’s border. The strikes targeted Syrian regime forces after days of brutal violence against the Druze minority in Sweida. Netanyahu warned that without decisive action, terrorists could create chaos like Hezbollah did in Lebanon—putting Israeli families in grave danger.
Syrian forces have been waging a violent campaign against the Druze people, killing hundreds of civilians in recent clashes. These unprovoked attacks show the Syrian regime’s true cruelty toward religious minorities. Israel refuses to stand by while innocent lives are slaughtered by radical Islamists and their enablers in Damascus.
Prime Minister Netanyahu stated clearly that Israel’s strikes serve two critical purposes: defending the persecuted Druze community and enforcing a demilitarized zone along the border. He emphasized that allowing terrorists to dominate southern Syria would be catastrophic for Israeli security. History proves that weakness invites aggression—a lesson Netanyahu vows not to repeat.
Radical Islamic groups backed by Iran and Syria represent an existential threat to the entire region. Their goal is to massacre religious minorities and establish terror bases aimed at Israel’s destruction. By striking regime targets, Israel disrupts this evil plan before it reaches our doorstep. No sovereign nation would tolerate such dangers.
Israel’s bold actions demonstrate real leadership in a chaotic world. While global organizations like the UN complain about sovereignty, they ignore Syria’s atrocities against its own people. America would act just as decisively if terrorists threatened our borders. Israel shows the courage others lack.
Tragically, an Israeli tank shell accidentally hit a Gaza church during separate defensive operations, killing three civilians. Netanyahu expressed deep regret for this heartbreaking mistake. Our military takes every precaution to protect innocents, unlike terrorists who deliberately target civilian areas daily.
The prime minister remains steadfast: Israel will continue striking threats in Syria to prevent another Lebanon-style terror stronghold. Weakness only invites more attacks, while strength deters them. Our brave soldiers protect not just Israel but all who value freedom against radical Islam.
Peace requires strength, and Israel will never apologize for defending its people. As long as terrorists threaten our borders, we will strike them with precision and resolve. The world should thank Israel for confronting evil that endangers us all.
