‘Israel targets groups linked to Iran in Syria’

The Hindu  

Israeli missile strikes hit military positions used by pro-Iran groups near the Syrian capital Damascus overnight, a war monitor said Friday. The strikes on the suburbs of Barzeh and Jamraya "targeted Syrian regime military positions that are used by pro-Iran groups" to store and develop weapons, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. "The Syrian army's air defences intercepted after midnight an Israeli missile attack in the vicinity of Damascus," SANA said, adding the attack only caused material damage. Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Israel has routinely carried out raids in Syria, mostly targeting Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah forces as well as Syrian government troops.
