There was no immediate comment from Israel, which has allegedly staged hundreds of strikes on targets in Syria over the years. However, it rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. It says it targets bases of Iran-allied militias, notably Lebanon's terrorist Hezbollah group. Hezbollah has fighters deployed in Syria and fighting on the side of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government forces. Israel also says it targets arms shipments believed to be bound for the militias.
Israel reportedly previously attacked Masyaf in May and August 2022 killing five people and wounding two and just recently attacked the Aleppo airport. According to the Britain-based opposition war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the attacks targeted weapons depots belonging to Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and Iran-backed militias.
