The Israeli army's bombings in Syria are aimed at organizations associated with Iran, primarily the Lebanese “Hezbollah” as well as on Iranian officers who are on Syrian territory as advisers.

The Syrian Foreign Minister arrived at the site of the Iranian embassy after the Israeli airstrike.

Since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli operations against Syria have intensified many times over. The attack reportedly killed 8 people. It should be noted that if the Iranian embassy was actually hit, then this is a casus belli and Iran will likely take serious retaliatory measures.

PS This story once again shows that in this world it is not the one who is attacked who is right, but the one who is stronger. And genocide, if it is carried out by those who can, is also not considered genocide. And the whole world understands this, despite the propaganda that flows “from every iron.”
