A series of missions by the Israeli Air Force struck targets related to the Syrian army and Hezbollah located on the border between Syria and Lebanon, according to multiple reports.

One strike hit what a report in the Times of Israel refers to as "Syrian missile depots" on Wednesday. Another early Saturday was aimed at two divisions of Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian army charged with handling "strategic weapons," including Scud missiles.

The Wednesday attack is reported to have killed one person.

The Israel Defense Force has not commented on the attacks, which have gone unreported in pro-Assad and pro-Hezbollah media.

The strikes follow earlier attacks in January that killed senior figures in Hezbollah and one commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards widely reported to have been carried out by Israel.
