In an extraordinary statement, the Israeli military confirmed that it attacked Iranian military targets in Syria in a rare Israeli daylight air raid near the Damascus International Airport.

Until now Israel has largely refrained from public admissions of its covert military operations in neighboring Syria, in order to avoid large-scale involvement in the eight-year civil war.

The strikes were in response to a surface-to-surface rocket that Iranian forces fired toward Israel that was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system over a ski resort in the Golan Heights.

The Israeli military said the Iranian targets included munition storage facilities, an intelligence site and a military training camp.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes lasted for nearly an hour and were the most intense Israeli attacks since last May. It said 11 were killed in the strikes. The Russian military said four Syrian troops were among those killed.

The Israeli military said Iranian forces in Syria fired the mid-range surface-to-surface missile toward Israel from the Damascus area — a missile that had been smuggled into Syria specifically for that purpose.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement: “We have a defined policy: to harm Iranian entrenchment in Syria and to harm anyone who tries to harm us.”

The Biblical prophecies foretell that Iran will attempt war with Israel in these Last Days at the end of this age.
