Syria is the target of frequent aggressions from "Israel". In April, "Israel" attacked the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, killing Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and many others.
Iran retaliated by sending a massive wave of rockets and hypersonic missiles towards the occupied territories. "Israel" responded back by initiating an attack on Isfahan, which was fully intercepted by Iranian forces.
