Damage caused by overnight airstrikes on a number of Iran-linked targets in Syria near the border with Iraq was evident in satellite images published on Monday.
The strikes — attributed in some reports to Israel — hit a military base used by pro-Iran Shi’a fighters.

Israel has reportedly acted repeatedly in recent years with its military to prevent Iranian entrenchment in Syria and the establishment of a land corridor from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea.
