Israel says army strikes Syrian, Iranian targets in Syria

Jerusalem: Israel’s army said it had launched air strikes Wednesday on Iranian and Syrian targets inside Syria, a retaliatory attack after it found explosive devices along its northern border.

“Yesterday, Israel Defence Force troops exposed improvised explosive devices... which were placed by a Syrian squad led by Iranian forces,” an army statement said.

“In response, overnight, IDF fighter jets struck military targets belonging to the Iranian Quds force and the Syrian Armed Forces.”
