Israel carrying out unprecedented wave of deadly strikes against Iranian weapon shipments in Syria

Israel has been carrying out an unprecedented wave of deadly strikes in Syria targeting Iranian weapons shipments to its regional proxies, Reuters reports.

Citing six sources, including a Syrian military intelligence officer and a commander in the regional alliance backing Damascus, Reuters says that the intensification of its campaign in Syria took place after the October 7 Hamas massacre.

Israel has been striking trucks, infrastructure and operatives more frequently in more deadly strikes, according to the anonymous sources. Israel has abandoned the “rules of the game,” they say.

“They used to fire warning shots – they’d hit near the truck, our guys would get out of the truck, and then they’d hit the truck,” says the commander.

“Now that’s over. Israel is now unleashing deadlier, more frequent air raids against Iranian arms transfers and air defense systems in Syria. They bomb everyone directly. They bomb to kill.”
