Recent reports indicate that Israeli airstrikes in Syria are not directly targeting Russian bases but are aimed at Iranian military assets and weapons depots. These strikes have occurred near the Russian Hmeimim Airbase, highlighting Israel’s ongoing campaign to curb Iranian influence in the region. The focus remains on dismantling Iran’s military buildup and reducing its strategic presence in Syria. While these operations unfold close to Russian positions, they are not intended to provoke or confront Russian forces.
