data-lang="en-gb">Israel’s response was the most significant strike in Syria since the Yom Kippur war in 1973. It follows a months-long shadow war in which Israel has been accused of repeated strikes in Syria, the latest of which was on Tuesday night. Its military said it had attacked dozens of targets included weapons storage, logistics sites and intelligence centres used by Iranian forces. Israel has carried out other airstrikes in Syria since the civil war began in 2011, but the latest overnight raids were the most intense to date.
