Israel Destroyed Iranian Underground Missile Factory in Syria Ground Raid
(Axios) Barak Ravid - The IDF raided Syria in a ground operation on Sep. 8 and destroyed an underground precision missile factory built by Iran. Israel briefed the Biden administration in advance of the operation. The Iranians began building the underground facility in coordination with Hizbullah and Syria in 2018 after Israeli airstrikes destroyed most of the Iranian missile production infrastructure in Syria. Israeli intelligence monitored the building for five years and realized they would not be able to destroy the facility with an airstrike.
