Report: Missiles Aimed at Israel Targeted in Syrian Strike
(Ynet News) Liad Osmo - A senior Syrian army official said Tuesday that "Israel targeted a Syrian army position south of Damascus." The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported nine militiamen affiliated with the regime were killed. The attack came after the IDF instructed Israeli communities in the Golan Heights to open public bomb shelters amid reports of "irregular Iranian movements" in Syria. The base attacked in Damascus housed Iranian forces and was attacked by Israel in the past, Arab media reported. Yediot Ahronot military correspondent Ron Ben-Yishai surmised that the targets of Tuesday's attack were missile silos and rocket launchers the Iranians took out of hiding and intended to use.
