Israel Strikes Iranian Targets in Syria as Tensions Escalate
Israel says the strikes were retaliation for an Iranian rocket barrage on its positions in the Golan Heights and has called on the U.N. Security Council and secretary-general to immediately condemn Iran's attack. He says Israeli attacks on Syria under "fabricated and baseless excuses" is a breach of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.
In a statement, the military said the targets included what it described as Iranian intelligence sites; a logistics headquarters belonging to the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards; military compounds; munition storage warehouses of the Quds Force at Damascus International Airport; intelligence systems associated with those forces; and military posts and munition in the buffer zone between the Syrian Golan Heights and the Israeli-occupied portion of the strategic plateau.
Syria will counter all the attacks by the Israeli forces on its sovereign territory and will not hesitate to strike Israeli military targets as it has a right for self-defense, Syrian Ambassador to China Imad Moustapha told Sputnik on Friday in light of recent air strikes by the Israelis in Syria. He added, "I hope that we ended this chapter and that everyone understood".

Pep Guardiola says Kyle Walker can improve further at Manchester City
Even so, the Saints will be anxious to avoid leaving things to chance as they face off against a side which has taken the league by storm this season.
The exchange was the first outbreak of military violence since President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, a move that was strongly encouraged and supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that Israel had retaliated with its largest strike in Syria since the outbreak of the civil war in 2011, and that Israel had hit "nearly all" Iranian military facilities in Syria. Syria's foreign ministry said Israel's attacks are the "start of a new phase of aggression" against Syria and will do nothing but "increase tensions in the region". Israel reported none on its side.
Israel has reinforced its military positions in the Golan Heights, the contested area in Israel's north which borders Lebanon and Syria, where arch-enemy Iran has established a military foothold with some units just miles from the border.
