IDF: Iran Determined to Maintain Strike Capability from Syria
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Iran is continuing to try "to increase their efforts and capabilities to launch rockets [from Syria] and establish terror cells that can penetrate into Israel and harm communities in the Golan Heights," IDF Intelligence Directorate head Maj.-Gen. Tamir Heyman told the International Homeland Security Forum in Jerusalem on Wednesday. "The fact that they succeeded in launching rockets toward Israel, causing us to open shelters, is seen by them as a great success, even though it was a total failure operationally." In May, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps fired a barrage of 32 Fajr-5 and Grad missiles toward Israel, leading to Israel striking more than 50 Iranian targets in Syria in response.
