Yesterday (Sunday), Iranian Quds forces operating in Syrian territory launched a surface-to-surface rocket from Syrian territory aimed at the northern Golan Heights in Israel. The IDF's Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted the rocket.
In response to the attack, during the night IDF fighter jets struck Iranian Quds Forces military targets in Syria in addition to Syrian aerial defense batteries.
The following military targets were struck as part of the IDF's attack targeting the Iranian Quds military sites in Syria: munition storage sites and a site located in the Damascus International Airport, an Iranian intelligence site and an Iranian military training camp.
During the strike, dozens of Syrian surface-to-air missiles were launched, despite clear warnings to avoid such fire. In response, several of the Syrian Armed Forces' aerial defense batteries were targeted.
In firing towards Israeli territory yesterday, Iran once again offered definitive proof of its real intentions of its entrenchment in Syria, which endangers the State of Israel and regional stability.
The IDF will continue operating determinedly to thwart Iranian entrenchment in Syria.
In addition, the IDF holds the Syrian regime responsible for everything taking place within Syria and warns the Syrian regime against targeting Israel or permitting it to be targeted.
The IDF is prepared for a wide variety of scenarios and will continue operating as needed in order to defend Israeli civilians.
For the time being, the Mount Hermon ski site will not open for visitors today (Monday).
