Israeli airstrikes in Syria said to hit Iranian targets near Russian naval base

(Worthy News) – Israeli airstrikes near Russia’s main navy base in the coastal Syrian city of Tartus on Sunday night targeted Iranian sites, an unidentified Syrian officer told the Reuters news agency on Monday.

The state-run SANA broadcaster had earlier said Israeli jets launched missiles from over neighboring Lebanon, targeting sites in Tartus and on the outskirts of the capital Damascus, killing three soldiers and wounding three others.

The Syrian army officer told Reuters on condition of anonymity that an Iranian base near the village of Abu Afsa, south of Tartus, was targeted alongside a nearby air defense system and radar station. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
