Amid its open-ended wars in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is striking targets of the Assad regime, Iran, and Hezbollah across Syria.

In the latest strikes early Thursday, Assad regime media reported attacks on Homs and Hamas Provinces in northwest and central Syria. A military official said a “car assembly factory” in Hassia in Homs province and a military position in Hama were targeted around 1 a.m. with“material damage” but no casualties.

In a rare acknowledgement of responsibility, the Israel Defense Forces said they killed Hezbollah operative Adham Jahout on Wednesday in the Quneitra area of southern Syria, just across the border from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Jahout “passed information from Syrian regime officials to the Hezbollah organization” to target the Golan Heights, the IDF said.

Regime media said Israel bombed a residential building in Mezzeh in southern Damascus, the center of Iranian and regime military operations, on Tuesday. The outlets claimed at least seven people were killed, including five civilians, and 11 injured

Iran’s Revolution Guards denied that any of its personnel were slain, “Currently conditions are stable and the military advisors are operating in full collaboration with the ommand center of the Axis of Resistance.”

On Sunday, Israel detonated several ammunition warehouses in Homs Province and near Salamiyah in eastern Hama Province.
