Jerusalem, 5 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — IDF troops from the Carmeli Brigade discovered three anti-tank explosive charges and two mines during operations in Southern Syria, the military said. The weapons were found Monday as forces conducted operations to clear the security area of weapons left behind by the former Syrian regime.
