Israel said it struck dozens of Iranian targets in
Syria on Wednesday in a “wide-scale” operation in response to rocket
fire on the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights the day before.
Syrian state media only reported that two civilians were killed.
The exchange of fire along the increasingly tense frontier comes as
Iran and its allies face blowback across the region, with mass
protests against Tehran-aligned governments in
Lebanon and
Iraq, as well as demonstrations in Iran itself over a recent hike in fuel prices.
