April 2 (Reuters) - Israeli forces carried out air strikes on outposts in Syria's Homs province in a raid early on Sunday, Syria's defence ministry said, while Western intelligence sources said a series of air bases in central Syria where Iranian personnel are based were hit in the bombings.

The Israeli military declined to comment on the reported strikes in Syria, the third since Thursday. An Israeli attack near Damascus on Friday killed two members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Iranian state media reported on Sunday.

Without referring to any specific places or strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel is "exacting a heavy price from terrorist-supporting regimes" outside of its borders. He was speaking to his cabinet in televised remarks.

Nope...

They’ve been fighting amongst themselves long before we were born (think Lawrence of Arabia, or even the Assyrian Empire).

They’ll be fighting long after the last one of us are pushing daisies.

Very tidy work from the IDF.

By contrast, this is how WE operate there under Biden:

U.S. contractor killed, 5 service members and contractor wounded in suicide drone strike in Syria (March 23rd)
