IDF: Israeli Strikes in Syria Have Led to Decrease in Iranian Activity
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - "The Iranian entrenchment in Syria is in a clear slowdown as a result of IDF activity," IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi announced Thursday. "We have struck over 500 targets this year, on all fronts, in addition to multiple clandestine missions." The strikes in Syria have destroyed an immeasurable amount of advanced weaponry, and in recent months Iran has significantly reduced the number of cargo flights into Syria which are used to smuggle weapons. Iranian bases have been moved from the area around Damascus toward the northern and eastern parts of Syria, and the number of Iranian troops and militia members has also shrunk considerably.
