The Israeli military has resumed striking targets in Syria, Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) Gadi Eizenkot claimed on March 28.
However, Eizenkot provided no details regarding this claim.
Meawnhile, no Syrian sources reported Israeli strikes in Syria after the IDF’s warplane was shot down by the Syrian Air Defense Forces on February 10. The downed Israeli F-16I was involved in strikes on targets inside Syria under a pretext of responding to Israeli airspace violation by an alleged Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle.
Eizenkot’s statement is likely an attempt to show that the IDF is still capabile of conducting strikes on targets across the region with no limits despite the Feburary 10 failure.
