JERUSALEM, Nov 18, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Israel’s army said it had launched air
strikes Wednesday on Iranian and Syrian targets inside Syria, a retaliatory
attack after it found explosive devices along its northern border.
“Yesterday, Israel Defence Force troops exposed improvised explosive
devices… which were placed by a Syrian squad led by Iranian forces,” an
army statement said.
“In response, overnight, IDF fighter jets struck military targets belonging
to the Iranian Quds force and the Syrian Armed Forces.”
