— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇸🇾 FACT: On this day 7 years ago, units of the IRGC Quds Force in Syria under the command of General Qasem Soleimani launched 20 'Fajr-5' rockets at IDF positions in the occupied Golan Heights
While not many people know about this event, it was actually the first direct clash between Iran and Israel. The attack was carried out without informing Assad, who condemned it and later demanded that the Iranian forces must leave the Golan Heights and hand over their positions.
The operation was a response to Israel's bombing of the T-4 airbase in Syria, which killed 7 Iranian military advisors and engineers that were stationed in the base at the time.
In fact, 2018 was an interesting year in the Iran-Israel conflict:
Earlier that year, in January 2018, an Iranian 'Saeqeh' stealth drone penentrated Israeli airspace and was spying on Israeli military installations. In response to this, the Israeli Air Force scrambled a squadron of fighter jets to intercept the drone. One of the jets, an F-16l, was shot down above northern Israel by a Syrian S-200 air defense system.
