BEIRUT—Missile strikes on Syrian government bases overnight killed dozens of pro-regime forces, raising the risks of a wider regional war just weeks after Israel was blamed for hitting an air station in the country used by Iranian elite forces.
“Enemy missiles” targeted military bases in Aleppo and Hama, Syrian state news agency SANA reported Monday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 27 people, most of them Iranians, were killed in Hama. There were no immediate details about casualties in Aleppo.
Footage circulated on social media showed a large fireball, purportedly from an explosion at a military base in Hama believed to house Iranian Revolutionary Guards forces. The base in Aleppo is also widely thought to be used by Iranian forces and allied militias.
Syrian media close to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said photos from the site revealed Israel as being behind the attack, purportedly using GBU-39 bombs fired by F-35 jet fighters.
Israeli military declined to comment, in line with a policy of neither confirming nor denying strikes in Syria.
Missile Strikes on Syrian Military Base Kill Dozens

Who else but Israel, they are starting another war they can't finish. This is not in self defense, no one was attacking them. They are a rogue regime.
