WSJ: Israel Destroyed All Iranian S-300 Air Defense Batteries
Israel's airstrikes targeted four S-300 batteries near Damascus last week
Israel has destroyed all of Iran's S-300 air defense batteries in Syria, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The airstrikes, which took place last week, targeted four S-300 batteries near Damascus.
The S-300 is a long-range surface-to-air missile system that is capable of intercepting aircraft, drones, and missiles.
The airstrikes were part of a broader Israeli campaign to prevent Iran from establishing a permanent military presence in Syria.
Iran has been providing military support to the Assad regime in Syria since the outbreak of the civil war in 2011.
Israel has repeatedly warned that it will not allow Iran to establish a permanent military presence in Syria.
The airstrikes on the S-300 batteries are the latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria.
The airstrikes have raised concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Iran has vowed to retaliate for the airstrikes.
Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group backed by Iran, has also threatened to retaliate.
The situation in Syria is highly volatile, and there is a real risk that the conflict could escalate into a wider regional war.
Conclusion
The airstrikes on the S-300 batteries are a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
The airstrikes have raised concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict, and it is important to monitor the situation closely in the coming days and weeks.
