http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/iran-fires-barrage-of-rockets-at-israeli-forces-in-syria-as-tensions-rise-after-us-abandons-nuclear-a3835056.html
Israeli forces bombed Damascus in retaliation for a rocket attack by the Iranian military on its positions in the Golan Heights.
The Israeli military on Thursday said it attacked "dozens" of Iranian targets in neighbouring Syria in response to an Iranian rocket barrage on the Israeli military positions.
It is the most serious military confrontation between the two bitter enemies to date and has sparked fears of an all-out war.
Israel said the targets included weapons storage, logistics sites and intelligence centers used by elite Iranian forces in Syria. It also said it destroyed several Syrian air-defence systems after coming under heavy fire and that none of its warplanes was hit.
The blistering Israeli assault was by far the most intensive Israeli action in neighbouring Syria since the civil war broke out there in 2011.
