Israel carried out a new Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Syria, near Damascus, early on Friday.

Three big explosions were heard over the city, according to locals.

Citing a military source, Syria’s state-run news agency
...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?...
SANA said, Israel launched "bursts of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a site in Damascus countryside."

"Air defenses intercepted the aggression missiles and shot down a number of them," SANA reported, adding, "The aggression left only some material losses."

However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
Israel yet to comment on the incident.



Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that a military advisor of it was killed in an alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Syria early on Friday.

In a statement, the IRGC said that Milad Heydari was killed in "the Zionist regime’s aerial attack on the Syrian capital."

This is the second strike in 24 hours and the sixth in March.

The IRGC warned that it will respond to the attack. "The fake and criminal Zionist regime will undoubtedly receive a response to this crime," the statement read.
Shafaq News adds:
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH), a war monitoring organization based in Britain, said the airstrikes were aimed at locations in southwest Damascus that were occupied by both the Syrian military and groups that are aligned with Iran.

#3 They knew where he was. That's got to be bugging the big shots. Especially those who might think of themselves as targets.
