Well, folks, while the world’s busy clutching pearls over Israel’s latest moves, the IDF’s Paratrooper’s Brigade, under Division 210, has been putting in some serious overtime. [Get it? 'Overtime'.]
Over the past week, these brave skydivers stormed a southern Syrian outpost like it was a clearance sale at "Tanks R Us." The military proudly announced Saturday that they dismantled a rusty collection of out-of-service tanks, armored personnel carriers, and artillery—relics of the former Syrian regime that probably hadn’t seen action since the Nixon administration.
Not ones to leave empty-handed, the troops snagged some bonus goodies: mortars, dozens of rockets, and whatever else was lying around this former regime HQ. The IDF says it’s all about “removing threats to Israel,” particularly for the folks living in the Golan Heights who’d rather not have mortars as their new neighbors. Fair enough.
Then, because why stop at a garage sale when you can throw a little party, the IDF took out “several armed targets” in the Tasil area Wednesday night after they had the audacity to shoot at Israeli troops.

The military confirmed Thursday that they didn’t just stop at target practice—they confiscated more weapons and turned some terror infrastructure into rubble. Defense Minister Israel Katz, clearly not in a mood for subtlety, called the strikes “a warning for the future.” You can almost hear the ominous movie-trailer voiceover.
Katz wasn’t done flexing and rolling his shoulders. He doubled down, saying Israel’s forces are parking themselves in Syrian buffer zones and will keep swinging at anything that smells like a threat. He’s got a message for Syria’s government too: let any anti-Israel clowns slip through, and “you’ll pay a heavy price.”

Sounds like a guy who’s tired of sending polite memos.
Meanwhile, Syrian news is whining about IDF clashes with pro-Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters in Daraa early Thursday.

Shocker—jihadists and Israel aren’t exchanging holiday cards. Oh, and Israel’s air force has been treating Syria like a piñata, with airstrikes confirmed across the country. The HTS-led Syrian Foreign Ministry—because apparently that’s a thing now—threw a tantrum over it. One highlight? The IAF turned Hama’s military airport into a smoking crater overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, leaving dozens of civilians and soldiers with more than just a bad hangover.
The IDF’s been at this since early December when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham took the reins, figuring it’s better to preemptively squash a jihadist invasion than wait for the RSVP.

So, while the usual suspects clutch their UN charters and sob about sovereignty, Israel’s out there doing what it does best—making sure the neighborhood doesn’t go full Mad Max. That is, a country's gotta do what a country's gotta do.
