The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted airstrikes against Iranian-linked targets in Syria overnight, according to statements from the Israeli military. The strikes are reported to have targeted facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and allied militias.
Regional media and monitoring groups reported explosions near the Syrian capital, Damascus. The Syrian state news agency SANA confirmed the strikes, stating that Syrian air defenses had intercepted some of the incoming missiles.
The IDF has stated the operation was a response to recent threats and attacks orchestrated by Iran against Israel. Tensions between Israel and Iran have remained high, with frequent reports of Israeli strikes on Iranian assets in Syria over recent years.
There were no immediate reports of casualties from the latest strikes. The incident underscores the ongoing shadow conflict between the two regional adversaries on Syrian territory.
