The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on January 15 that they have seized more than 3,300 weapons during operations in Syrian territory, including significant military hardware and missile systems from the defunct Assad regime.

The seizure, which took place over a month-long ground operation, included two tanks belonging to Syrian army forces, approximately 1,500 missiles, and various rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and launcher systems, according to IDF officials.

In a separate video, uploaded on Syrian social media, Israeli lorries are seen removing dozens of domestic vehicles beeping their horns heading towards occupied Golan territory.

Military photographs released to media outlets show wooden ammunition crates bearing military identification numbers and multiple rocket launcher systems.

The seized materiel includes artillery shells and vehicle-mounted rocket launchers discovered in mountainous terrain.

The operation marks one of the larger weapons seizures reported by Israeli forces in recent years in the region. The IDF did not provide specific details about the exact location of the operation within Syrian territory.

This development comes amid ongoing regional tensions, though the IDF did not directly link the weapons seizure to any particular armed group or strategic objective.

Israeli military officials declined to provide additional details about the operational aspects of the seizure when contacted by Reuters.

The interim Syrian government has not yet responded to requests for comment on the Israeli military's announcement.
