Israel Jets Strike Iranian Targets Near Damascus; Strike after Rocket from Syria Hits Golan Heights

Israeli jets struck Iranian positions around the Syrian capital of Damascus last night, the BBC website reports today (January 21, 2019).

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) say last night's operation targeted the elite Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, as well as Syrian air defenses.

The IDF also said it acted after the Quds Force fired a rocket from Syria towards the occupied Golan Heights yesterday.

Iran -- Israel's arch enemy -- has sent thousands of military personnel to support Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in the country's civil war, now in its eighth year.
