The Israeli army dropped warning leaflets over Syria’s Quneitra region overnight Tuesday, reported Israel’s Kan radio.
The leaflets were dropped in wake of an attack blamed on Israel that night, said Syrian opposition figures on Wednesday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that fires had broken out in a military position belonging to regime forces and Iranian militias west of the town of Khodr in Quneitra’s northern countryside after being struck by three rockets fired by Israel on Tuesday night.
The leaflets delivered warnings to the Syrian military against cooperating with the Lebanese Hezbollah party, specifically one its senior members, whom it identified as Hajj Jawad Hashem, who is active in Syria and had been named in previous leaflets.
“Carrying out dirty work for Hezbollah has become a priority for the Syrian army,” read the leaflet.
It added: “Hajj Hashem and his men roam positions in southern Syrian, including positions in Qars al-Naql and the 90th Brigade that were targeted the night before yesterday.”
“The members of the Syrian army have been turned into Hezbollah’s dummies without them even realizing it,” it read.
It warned that the members of the Syrian military are being closely watched and that they should be careful of their actions.
“Abetting Hajj Hashem will lead to your destruction,” it warned.
Syrian television on Tuesday reported that Israel had struck the border region of Quneitra near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Syrian opposition sources said the attack targeted military positions, including one affiliated with Hezbollah. The other belongs to the military’s 90th Brigade.
