Strikes in the Damascus area earlier this week that were attributed to Israel targeted a Hezbollah training base, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

Citing an Middle Eastern intelligence source, the report says fighters connected to the so-called Golan File trained at the camp ahead of operations against Israel.

The Golan File unit is a branch of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist group that operates in southern Syria.
