Pages and accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that Israel had sent Syria an ultimatum containing two options: the first, the complete withdrawal of Turkish forces from Syrian territory, and the second, the disarmament of the southern region, with the end of the current month set as the final deadline for implementation, or else the capital Damascus would be the next target.
The Kashaf team verified the claim by reviewing open sources and conducting an advanced search using relevant keywords, cross-checking it against what was published by Israeli government websites and Hebrew-language newspapers and media, in addition to tracking what was published about the Israeli position on developments in Syria. The search results did not show any reliable source confirming that an Israeli ultimatum had been issued to Damascus in the circulated form, that a specific deadline had been set until the end of the month, or that there was a direct threat to target the capital if the stated demands were not implemented, which refutes what was stated in the claim.
Why is this claim false?
Absence of an official source: The circulated report did not rely on any reliable source confirming the issuance of the ultimatum, the deadline or the threat mentioned, and it is therefore classified as false.
