  Israel has admitted that it carried out thousands of airstrikes inside Syria over the past two years, without claiming responsibility. The outgoing Israeli army chief has told the New York Times that near-daily attacks were conducted in Syria. Gadi Eisenkot claims that most of the targets hit by Israel belonged to Iran. This is while, Tehran has repeatedly said that it only deploys advisers in Syria, at the country’s request. Damascus has also condemned the airstrikes as a violation of its sovereignty. The Israeli commander, in a separate interview, also issued a threat against commander of Iran’s Quds force, Major General Qassem Soleimani, who has helped the Syrian government fight Daesh terrorists. Eisenkot said “he who acts against us puts himself in danger.”
