Iranian forces entered Syria in 2013 to help the Syrian government forces against various armed forces, and from that Time onwards, the Israeli Air Force began air strikes against Iranian forces in Syria, precisely the Iranian armed arsenal and transport convoys, and Damascus International Airport, where Iranian cargo planes land and take off, became an important target, and when intercepted by Syrian air defense forces, the Israeli Air Force also launched anti-aircraft suppression (SEAD), and although the Syrian government has not mentioned losses, it is believed that Syrian air defense forces have suffered heavy losses and are no longer able to protect their Iranian allies.
Israel considers Iranian infiltration in Syria a threat to its own national security, and Iranian forces have not only been close to Israeli border areas, especially the Golan Heights, and have even conducted shelling and armed infiltration, but have also sent ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, long-range rockets and Drones to Syria and, through Syrian transit, to proxy forces such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Israel has been unable to negotiate way to force Iran to withdraw its forces from Syria, only to have Iran forced to withdraw after it could not afford the losses.
Since February last year, Israel has publicly announced that it will force Iran to leave Syria through more powerful air strikes, but after it was determined that Biden would become the new U.S. president, the intensity of air strikes increased again, and after Biden’s inauguration, a number of senior U.S. officials declared that Iran would soon have enough weapons-grade nuclear material to make its first nuclear weapon, and the IDF Chief of General Staff Aviv Kohavi (Aviv Kohavi ) is a public statement, if necessary, Israel will take military action against Iranian nuclear facilities, will not allow Iran to become a nuclear state.
The Israeli side did undermine Iran’s nuclear program through cyber attacks, despite news that the Israeli Air Force’s F-35I stealth fighter jets have appeared over Iran’s nuclear facilities, but so far, Iran’s nuclear facilities have not been confirmed air strikes, a series of explosions and accidents at Iran’s nuclear facilities and other important institutions last year, it is now unclear what exactly happened.
Recently, Israeli airstrikes against Iranian forces in Syria have changed, and in addition to continuing airstrikes on Iranian armed arsenals and transport convoys (Damascus International Airport has not been hit by airstrikes in a long time, most likely because of problems with Iran’s limited airlift), they have also begun to directly airstrike Iranian forces, bearing in mind that in the past, although there have been losses of personnel on the Iranian side during airstrikes on arsenals, they have basically been collateral killings.
In the latest airstrike on the Abu Kamal base in Deir ez-Zor province near the Syrian-Iraqi border, sources indicate that a number of positions near the base were bombed and most Iranian forces were killed in the bombing, with a minimum of 19 deaths, and this is not the first time such attacks have occurred, similar attacks have occurred frequently recently, and now, Iranian forces stationed in Syria will no longer be safe from airstrikes because they are far from the What’s worse for them is that for the Syrian hinterland, which is far from the Israeli border, Israel will send its own F-35I fighter jets and probably will not notify the Russian side in advance, which means that the bombed Iranian forces will not get any early warning information at all, let alone air defense protection, and will only know that they are under air attack after the bombs explode, and whether they can survive It all depends on luck.
