The Israeli attack in Syria The night: Websites around the world reported that Israel attacked Syria tonight, the third attack in recent days after a month in which no Israeli attacks were reported. The attack this time, as usual, comes against the background of Israel’s attempts to fight the Iranian entrenchment in Syria and the transfer of weapons from Iran to Hezbollah.
The attack included sites identified with the brother of the Syrian president
According to the report, the attack tonight was on weapons and ammunition warehouses of organizations affiliated with Iran that were found in warehouses, a few kilometers from the international airport near Damascus. The report also spoke of an unusual attack target, the brother of Syrian President Mahr al-Assad who is affiliated with the Iranian forces based in Syria.

Targets that Israel has avoided attacking so far
In addition, other Iranian sites related to the headquarters linking the Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah were also attacked. According to media outlets affiliated with the Syrian opposition, last night’s attack was unusual and hit places where Israel had not hit until now. Reports indicate that several people were injured in the bombings. Syria’s official news agency SANA updated at the same time that “explosions were heard in the Damascus area – the air defense systems are dealing with hostile targets.”
