Israeli Troops Raided IRGC Weapons Facility in Syria
(Times of Israel) Israeli special forces carried out a raid on an Iranian weapons facility in the Masyaf area in Syria on Sunday, in addition to airstrikes targeting a scientific research center reported earlier. Reports Thursday said there were Israeli troops on the ground during the operation. The opposition Syria TV network said that Israeli helicopters did not land but instead hovered as special forces rappelled down ropes. A number of Syrians were killed, and two to four Iranians were captured. Israel's Channel 12 reported it was an IDF operation against an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility for the development of ballistic missiles and drones, and which also provides logistical support to Hizbullah. Israeli troops entered the compound, removed equipment and documents, and then laid explosives to destroy the facility.
