IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir indicates that the Israeli military was behind airstrikes in Syria earlier this week.

The strikes on Monday reportedly hit a military base near Homs and targets near the coastal city of Latakia and the historic city of Palmyra.

“In recent days, we have struck in several arenas simultaneously. In Syria, we thwarted capabilities that posed a threat to our freedom of action,” Zamir says at a Navy officers’ graduation ceremony.
