In 2022, Israel intensified its strikes against Syrian airfields, with the aim of preventing Iran from using air means to supply weapons and ammunition to its forces and its allies in Syrian territory and Lebanon, including the Shiite Hezbollah faction.
Since the war in Syria broke out in 2011, Israel has launched hundreds of strikes, the vast majority of them from the air, against positions of the armed forces of the Syrian government and their allies, Iranian and pro-Iranian armed groups, especially Hezbollah.
The Jewish state rarely confirms or publicly comments on the raids it launches, however it often declares that it will not allow Iran, its sworn enemy, to build a bridgehead or expand its influence on Syrian territory.
