The escalation of such strikes comes from Iran’s growing military activity in Syria in recent months, experts said. However, it rarely acknowledges such operations. Israel views Iran’s military presence in Syria as a threat to its national security and has carried out strikes against Iranian targets. Iran, a major backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, has built a significant military presence in Syria since the beginning of that country’s civil war in 2011. Two days before that attack, another two Iranian military advisers were killed in an Israeli strike near Damascus, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said.Īnother Iranian Revolutionary Guard Member Dies After Israeli Attack in Syria A day before that incident, an alleged Israeli air raid targeted an airbase in the Syrian province of Homs, wounding at least five Syrian government troops. Monday’s strikes came a day after a suspected Iranian drone was reportedly shot down by Israeli forces after it infiltrated from Syrian territory. The Syrian government news agency reported that two people were killed in those attacks. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, or SOHR, said the alleged Israeli strikes on Damascus targeted Syrian government and Iranian positions near the city’s airport and another area south of the capital. The most recent strike on Monday hit an area near the Syrian capital, Damascus, according to Syrian state media and an opposition war monitor. In recent days, suspected Israeli airstrikes hit such targets in four different occasions. Israel has increased its air raids in Syria, targeting positions belonging to the Syrian government and Iranian forces.
