Israel has conducted drone strikes on at least three anti-aircraft radar stations in southern Syria, including one located on a military airfield, according to two Syrian military sources who spoke to Reuters.
The drone attacks targeted two radar stations west of the city of Sweida, as well as another positioned in the adjoining Daraa province. These radar units form part of Syrian military air defenses in the southern region, added one of the sources.
In a related development, Israel reported that its commando and paratroop units conducted raids into Lebanon on Tuesday as part of a "limited" ground incursion. Concurrently, Iran-backed Hezbollah announced that it had launched a barrage of missiles into Israel, targeting, among others, the country’s spy agency near Tel Aviv.
