Israeli air force conducted airstrikes against targets controlled by the Iranian forces in Syria.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), among the targets hit were storage facilities, headquarters and military compounds controlled by the Iranian Al Quds forces and Syrian armed forces.

In addition, Syrian advanced surface-to-air missile batteries were struck after they fired at Israeli warplanes.

Syrian state news agency SANA said three soldiers were killed and one was injured in the attack. There was no immediate information on Iranian casualties. 

The strikes were a retaliatory attack after 3 IEDs were identified and dismantled inside Israeli territory in the Golan Heights, near the border with Syria, on Tuesday.  

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the military struck eight targets in Syria belonging to the country's military and the Quds Force, a branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The targets were all situated in the area between the Israeli frontier and the periphery of Damascus.

Among locations hit were a military site at the airport in Damascus, used as an Iranian headquarters in Syria and a secret military site, which hosted senior Iranian delegations, Conricus said.

The IDF also struck advanced surface-to-air missile batteries after they fired on Israeli aircraft, Conricus said.

The airstrikes happened as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in Israel, where he is expected to tour a West Bank winery – marking the first time a top American diplomat has visited an Israeli settlement.
