Israel’s Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said it had struck “all of the Iranian infrastructure in Syria” on Thursday morning in response to a barrage of rockets fired towards the country.
In one of the heaviest Israeli strikes on Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011, the IDF said its fighter jets hit “dozens of military targets” belonging to the Quds Force, an external arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Syrian state media reported Israeli missiles hit a radar station, air defence positions and an ammunition storage facility.
An illustration released by the IDF showed dozens of targets around Damascus and southern Syria were hit.
