Some 28 Israeli aircraft fired around 60 air-to-surface rockets in a massive overnight strike in Syria, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Syrian air-defense systems managed to intercept more than half of the missiles. That same night Iran reportedly fired 20 rockets at Israeli military outposts in Golan Heights. Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed on Thursday that Israeli forces destroyed almost all of Iran’s military infrastructure in Syria. It is the first time since 1974 that there have been clashes over the Israeli-occupied Syrian territory as regional tensions increased following the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Iranian lawmakers said Thursday that Iran had no role in the attack and that Shia nation doesn't operate any bases in Syria.
