The Israeli military has not commented on the specific strikes, but it has admitted to conducting numerous sorties against Iran-backed groups in Syria over the past decade. Israel has accused the Syrian military of assisting Hezbollah, and previous airstrikes have targeted Syrian air defense systems.
