Attack said to kill 2 members of terror group, as 3 more commanders killed in Lebanon; 5 drones, some 60 rockets fired at north, most intercepted, while troops in Lebanon press on.

In a rare acknowledgment, the IDF confirmed launching airstrikes in Syria on Monday, targeting what it said were infrastructure and assets of Hezbollah’s intelligence division, as strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon killed at least three of the terror group’s commanders, according to the military.

Meanwhile, dozens of rockets were fired from Lebanon at the north, and the army said it shot down several drones, including two apparently launched from Iraq.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the strikes in Syria killed two Hezbollah members. According to the monitor, the strikes hit a house "used by members of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard" south of Damascus, in Sayyidah Zaynab — home to an important Shiite sanctuary and guarded by pro-Iranian groups...

According to the army, the Syrian unit had already taken a hit when its commander, Mahmoud Muhammad Shahin, was killed in an October 4 airstrike in Beirut, along with Hussein Ali Hazima, head of Hezbollah’s intelligence division.

“… used by members of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard”
