Reports: Israel strikes near Damascus overnight targeted Iranian-made tunnels believed to store ballistic missiles

Israel reportedly carried out more strikes on missile warehouses and airports in Syria near the capital Damascus overnight, according to Arab media reports.

Earlier this week, military sources said the Israeli Air Force had carried out over 300 airstrikes on Syrian military targets since the collapse of the Assad regime, amid a wave of operations to take out advanced weapons and other capabilities lest they fall into hostile hands.

The latest series of 17 strikes targeted Iranian-made strategic tunnel complexes believed to be designed for storing and launching ballistic missiles, according to Jordan-based al-Ghad TV.
