Israel Conducts Airstrikes on Iranian Assets in Syria, Reports Say

Syrian state media reported Israeli airstrikes near Damascus early this morning, targeting sites allegedly used by Iranian military advisors and Iran-backed militias. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported at least five fighters were killed in the strikes. Israel has not officially commented, maintaining its long-standing policy of neither confirming nor denying actions in Syria. Analysts view this as part of Israels ongoing campaign between wars aimed at curtailing Irans military entrenchment and weapons transfers to Hezbollah via Syrian territory.
