- Israel: A young Israeli dies in an attack in the West Bank
The tension between Israel and Iran rises significantly with Syria once again as a key scenario. Shortly before midnight on Saturday and in an unusual statement, Israel announced that its combat fighters attacked "terrorist targets" in Syria belonging to Iran and its allied militias claiming they planned an attack on their territory.
According to the Israeli army, the Quds Force - the unit of the Revolutionary Guard led by General Qassem Suleimani - was to include the launch of armed drones against northern Israel.
"In a great operational effort, we have thwarted an attack by the Iranian Quds Force and Shiite militias. I say and Reitero: Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in all areas against Iranian aggression," he said. Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after it was reported from Syria that his army's anti-aircraft batteries neutralized "hostile missiles."
According to a Syrian military source, "at 23.30 at night their defenses detected hostile targets from the Golan to the Damascus area. The aggression was immediately answered and most of the Israeli missiles were destroyed before reaching their objective".
Israel has deployed more "Iron Dome" defensive batteries in the face of the possibility of reprisals from Iran or its allies such as the Shi'a Hizbullah group.
