No Israeli casualties were reported, and the overall mission was\u200d described as complex, involving multiple rounds of \u2064airstrikes and\u200c drone support during the ground operation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Elite Israeli forces conducted a raid into Syria that destroyed a weapons facility operated by Iran, according to new reports.<\/p>\n<p>The raid took place Sunday amid airstrikes in the region of Masyaf that killed at least 14 people, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/reports-israel-raided-irgc-weapons-facility-in-syria-took-equipment-and-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to multiple reports, Israel flew helicopters over the site of a weapons facility as airstrikes were preventing a response from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hand-god-earthquake-strikes-syria-lebanon-day-attack-hezbollah-israel-anticipated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Syria<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Commandos then rappelled down to the surface, where they overcame Syrian and Iranian troops to destroy the facility.<\/p>\n<p>A report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/09\/12\/israel-syria-raid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>, citing sources it did not name, said the attack was the first ground strike against Iranian targets in Syria in recent years.

The operation occurred on Sunday during airstrikes in the Masyaf area, which reportedly claimed at least 14 lives, according to the Times of Israel. Multiple accounts indicate that Israeli helicopters were deployed over the weapons site while airstrikes hindered any Syrian response. Commandos then descended to the ground and engaged with Syrian and Iranian troops to demolish the facility. An Axios report, citing unnamed sources, noted that this marked Israel&#8217;s first ground strike against Iranian targets in Syria in several years. The commandos reportedly infiltrated the facility and detonated explosives from within.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from multiple outlets including Syria TV, Israeli special forces seized equipment and documents during their operation at an Iranian weapons site in Masyaf on Sunday; some accounts suggest they may have captured several IRGC officials as well.

The underground facility had been established in 2018 following previous Israeli strikes that had destroyed other missile production sites operated by Iran.<\/p>\n<p>While Israel had monitored this location for years, it hesitated due to concerns over conducting a ground operation; however, no Israeli personnel were reported injured during this mission according to The New York Times.
