Israel intensiviert Angriffe auf iranische Ziele in Syrien
Israel increased its attacks on Iranian and Hizbullah targets in Syria to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hizbullah and as part of its response to the bomb attack at Megiddo Junction in northern Israel.
In the most recent attacks in Syria, senior Iranian military advisors were killed, and Israel fears Iranian revenge and attacks on Israeli ships in the Arabian Sea.
The Israeli Air Force intercepted and shot down an unmanned drone launched by Hizbullah or Iran’s Revolutionary Guards after it crossed from Syria on April 2.
On April 2, 2023, Israel attacked several targets of the Syrian army and the Iranian militias in the Homs region of Syria. The Syrian media reported that five military personnel were injured in the attack.
A Syrian opposition organization stated that one of the targets attacked was a military base where Hizbullah operatives are located. It was Israel’s third attack in four days and the ninth attack on Hizbullah and Iranian soldiers in Syria since the beginning of the year.
Israel also increased attacks on Iranian and Hizbullah targets as part of the Israeli response to the March 13, 2023, bomb attack at the Megiddo Junction, for which Iran and Hizbullah are suspected.
At the end of last week, Israeli missiles hit the bases of the Syrian army and the Iranian militias west of Damascus. According to sources in the Syrian opposition, five Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed in the attack.
In an unusual announcement, the Iranians officially said that the Israeli attack killed Milad Heydari, a military adviser to the Revolutionary Guards in Syria. His photo was also published in Iran’s media in an unusual move.
