The Turkish president also called for the dismantling of the Islamic State and armed Kurdish groups in the country

Israeli warplanes have targeted Syrian military positions in the town of Ghadir al-Bustan on the border between the Daraa and Quneitra governorates.

At least one person was killed in the strike on Wednesday and another was wounded, according to local Syrian news outlet Daraa 24.

Israel has continued targeting Syrian positions despite the collapse of the Assad dynasty in December, and targets have expanded to include forces loyal to the new administration.

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan demanded in a speech that Israel stop its “aggressive actions” against Syria, where a new government is now in charge following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.

Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria’s de-facto leader, said that Israel had no justifications for its actions in Syria, but that his country was not able to be drawn into a new conflict.

    Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria’s de-facto leader, said that Israel had no justifications for its actions in Syria, but that his country was not able to be drawn into a new conflict.

    A country that won’t defend itself from hostile foreign powers is a country whose leaders deserve to get merked.
