SOHR: Israel Shot Down Iranian Drone In Syria, Israel Carries Out "Dialed Back" Offensive On Rafah
Israeli media reported that the military carried out a “larger but dialed back” operation in eastern Rafah so as not to jeopardize future hostage deal talks with the Hamas.
SYRIA - The UK-based Syrian Observatory For Human Rights (SOHR) reported on May 8th that Israeli anti-aircraft systems shot down an Iranian drone “near Nawa City western of Daraa” and said that it’s believed to have been launched from outside of Syria and on its way toward the Golan Heights in Northern Israel.
It also reported: “Since the beginning of 2024, SOHR has documented 37 Israeli attacks on the Syrian territory: 25 airstrikes and 12 rocket attacks by ground forces. Those attacks destroyed nearly 74 targets, including weapons and ammunitions warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles. The Israeli attacks left 130 combatants dead and 53 others injured”.
