Little Let-Up In Israel’s Air Campaign Against Iran In Syria

Israeli airstrikes on Syria are still a regular occurrence over a decade after Israel initiated its preemptive air campaign against Iran-related targets in its war-torn northern neighbor.

On Sunday morning, July 2, Israeli airstrikes struck areas near Syria’s Homs, causing unspecified material damage. One of the Syrian air defense missiles, likely an antiquated Soviet-built S-200, fired in response flew over Israel and exploded over the southern city of Rahat. Israel responded by targeting an air defense battery and other unspecified targets.
