Israeli special forces conducted a significant raid in Masyaf, Syria, on Sunday night, targeting an Iranian missile facility. Reports indicate that the operation included air-dropped ground troops who destroyed the facility and captured two to four Iranian operatives. The Israeli Air Force provided cover during the mission, which also involved seizing equipment, planting explosives, and clashes. The facility, reportedly linked to the IRGC and under surveillance for about five years, was deemed too fortified to be destroyed from the air alone. Israeli officials have refrained from commenting on the operation. Some reports also suggest the site was a chemical-weapons facility.
