The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been launching airstrikes into Syrian territory for years, which Tel Aviv says is a self-defense measure aimed at “Iranian” targets in the country.

Damascus has protested the attack, calling it an act of aggression. Earlier this month, Russia, Turkey and Iran jointly condemned Israel’s “continued” attacks as a violation of “international law, international humanitarian law, the sovereignty of Syria and neighboring countries.”
