Israel reportedly bombed Iranian targets in Syria early Wednesday morning.
Syria's state-run news agency SANA reported that Syrian air defenses “confronted an Israeli aerial aggression in the southern region and downed a number of missiles.” The missiles came from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights and targeted southern Syria, causing damage and leading to three soldiers’ deaths and the injury of another soldier, according to SANA.
