"For the first time since Iran entered Syria in the Syrian civil war, it is reducing its forces there and clearing bases," security officials said Tuesday. According to the sources, "Syria is paying a price that is increasing due to its Iranian presence in its territory, for its non-war. Iran has become an asset for Syria, a burden. Israel will increase pressure on Iran until it leaves Syria."

This was stated a few hours after a significant attack attributed to Israel last night on Iranian targets near Aleppo in northern Syria, sixth in the last month. A Syrian military-industrial complex bombed out by Sars blast, intended for the production of advanced weapons, missiles and rocket and missile precision - as part of Iran, Syria and Hezbollah's "precision project" - Iranian sources have also been killed in the attack, although Tehran has not yet released a statement on the issue . 

Last night's attack was joined by at least 5 more assaults attributed to the Israeli Air Force in the past month at various military sites, such as bunkers near airports across Syria. 

In Israel, it is estimated that Syria is paying a rising price, in blood and resources, because of its Iranian consolidation experience in Syria. According to a growing trend in Syria, Iran has cleared a number of its bases in Syria and significantly reduced the presence of Iranian Quds forces in Syria. In addition, in Israel, there is a significant decline in the volume of cargo flights used to smuggle weapons from Iran to Syria over the past six months. 

Attacks in the depths of Syria

Iran's establishment in Syria began at the height of the civil war, five years ago. Iran has sent thousands of fighters and "advisers" to assist Assad's army against ISIS and the rebels. But these remained in Syria even at the end of the war, to deploy thousands of rocket launchers and other weapons, on a direct and close front with Israel.

According to the reports, the Israeli attacks were also carried out in depth in Syria. The recent attacks have focused on Iranian presence, infrastructure and headquarters in Syria - and not just on the prevention of convoys and smuggling. 

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, who is expected to finish his job next week and hand over the defense system to Benny Gantz, said today: "We are determined, more determined, and I will tell you why: For Iran, Syria is an adventure 1,000 miles from home, but for us it is "We are much more determined. Iranian soldiers who come to Syrian soil and work in it, bleeding their heads. They risk their lives, they will pay for their lives - and more. We will not give up and will not allow the establishment of a frontal Iranian base in Syria."
