The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed several armed terrorists who fired on troops in the Tasil area of southern Syria on Wednesday night.

Axar.az reports citing Jerusalem Post, the military confirmed on Thursday.

Israeli forces also confiscated weapons and destroyed terrorist infrastructure.

The IDF finished its operation in the area, but stated that Israel will not allow a military threat to exist in Syria.

This comes after Syrian news sources reported armed clashes between the IDF and pro-Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) combatants in Daraa, southern Syria, in the early hours of Thursday morning.

KAN reported shortly before reports of clashes emerged that "Dozens of IDF vehicles advance in the Nawa area of the Daraa suburbs."

Over the past few days, Israel has conducted airstrikes across Syria, the military confirmed, which the HTS-led Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned.
