Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck Palestinian Islamic Jihad headquarters in the Syrian capital of Damascus a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, Islamic Jihad planned and carried out terror activity from the command centers.

“The IDF will not allow terrorist organizations to entrench themselves in Syrian territory and operate against the State of Israel, and will respond forcefully to any such entrenchment,” the military says.

The military releases footage of the strikes.
