Israel claims it has destroyed Syrian fleet and will set up ‘sterile defensive zone’ – Middle East crisis live
Defence minister says military ships were destroyed on Monday and area will be set up in southern Syria without a permanent Israeli presence
Israeli forces destroyed the Syrian military fleet in an operation on Monday night as part of a broad campaign to eliminate strategic threats to Israel, defence minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday, during a visit to a naval base in Haifa.
“The IDF (military) has been operating in Syria in recent days to strike and destroy strategic capabilities that threaten the State of Israel. The navy operated last night to destroy the Syrian fleet with great success,” Katz said.
Reuters reports that in a statement he said Israeli forces were establishing themselves in the buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and said he had ordered a “sterile defensive zone” to be created in southern Syria, without a permanent Israeli presence, to prevent any terrorist threat to Israel.

Headline leaves out words such as Israel attacks Syria
They're defending themselves against Syria, until their Defense Forces have defensively reached the Turkish border.
Seeing as Israel was the first to attack I believe it's the other way around.
I think they were being facetious. As they were saying they are defending themselves until they march all the way through... To Turkey (their northern border)
I missed that completely then.
