Israeli forces dismantle spying devices embedded in Syria during its recent raids in a countryside base near Damascus, an Israeli official told Arab news site Al Hadath on Thursday.
The report also mentioned recovering secret and dangerous equipment, with the official sending a message to the Syrian government: "We warned the Sharaa administration against playing with fire and listening to Turkish orders."
The equipment had been in Syria for the last ten years.
"Turkey is trying to get closer to Israel than it should," he said, and concluded by noting that Israel has informed the new Syrian administration "not to test its patience and the limits of its operations."
Israel enters its third day of operations in Syria
Members of the New Syrian Army discovered surveillance and eavesdropping devices near Jabal al-Manea, south of Damascus, on Tuesday, according to the report.
While attempting to deal with them, the site was subjected to an Israeli airstrike, resulting in the deaths and injuries of several soldiers and the destruction of vehicles.
The Kingdom of Jordan has been especially vocal about the attacks.
On August 26, it condemned “in the strongest terms, the repeated Israeli violations and its infiltration into Syrian territory, considering it a flagrant violation of international law and a dangerous escalation targeting Syria’s stability, sovereignty and security.”
