Isreal launched an air strike against Syrian and Iranian positions in Kisweh, an area just south of Syria’s capital Damascus.
The strike was reportedly targeting communications bases and came just hours after Israel announced that it had identified Iranian military movement in Syria.

There are presently no registered victims.
