According to Israeli Channel VII, quoting from Amos Yaldin: "Israel acted tonight against the Iranian Quds Force, after trying to pass the launch of a heavy surface-to-surface missile towards Golan Heights, and to charge the Syrians with shooting at Israel."

He pointed out that the attack is an important message to Lebanon and Hezbollah and this is a key component of any possible confrontation on the northern front.

The Israeli air force launched fierce raids last night towards sites claimed to be Iranian in Damascus, shortly after the launch of a surface-to-surface missile from Syria towards the Golan Heights after Israeli raids.

This shelling resulted in killing 4 Syrian soldiers and injuring 6 others.
