The strikes targeted military sites in the southern and
central regions of Syria, with the assault commencing around 2300 GMT.
Missiles were reportedly launched from the occupied Syrian
Golan Heights and parts of Lebanon. Military sources indicated that several
missiles were shot down, although efforts are ongoing to assess the full impact
of the attack. There has been no immediate information regarding casualties or
damage.
In a related development, Israel announced early Saturday
that its military had conducted "precise strikes" against military
targets in Iran.
Explosions were heard in Tehran as Israeli army spokesman
Rear Adm. Danial Hagari confirmed that the Israel Defense Forces were targeting
sites in Tehran, Meshed, and a power station in Karaj.
