Israel has sent a message to Syria that it intends to step up strikes if Syria continues to facilitate Iranian weapons transfers to the area, the Saudi al-Arabiya site reports.
Citing unnamed sources, the network says Iran is sending weapons disguised as aid for Syria and Lebanon by air, land and sea.
The report, citing the same source, did not say how or when the Israeli message had been delivered.
The report comes after a third strike in three days was blamed on Israel.
There was no immediate comment from Israel, which has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade and at weapons deliveries destined for the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group.
