In an irregular move, the Israel Defense Forces releases footage of some of its strikes on Iranian and Syrian targets in southern Syria early this morning in response to an attempted explosive attack by Iranian-backed operatives against Israeli troops on the Golan Heights.
In the video, three sites can be seen being destroyed by incoming Israeli missiles. The military does not identify the targets of the strikes.

The military says it bombed “warehouses, command posts and military complexes, as well as batteries of surface-to-air missiles.”
The IDF generally maintains a policy of ambiguity regarding its activities against Iran and its proxies in Syria, refusing to publicly acknowledge its actions, with the exception of retaliations to attacks, as was the case this week. On Tuesday, the IDF uncovered and disarmed three anti-personnel mines inside Israeli territory near the Syrian border, which the military believes were planted there by Syrian nationals acting on behalf of Iran.
