Hundreds of hits
Over the past years, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes in Syria against regime forces, Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah targets, but the pace has recently accelerated.
Israel rarely confirms the implementation of strikes on Syrian territory, but it always reiterates that it will continue to confront what it describes as Iran’s attempts to establish its military presence there.
