At the moment I am looking into the reported #IDF airstrikes in #Syria on the night of 31st August 2020. Reports indicted..

Explosions heard around southern #Damascus, and namely Al-Kiswah, which is a known area to home/house/facilitate #IRGC related activities. Satellite imagery is freely available for interpretation, but the key thing is to look at the details around an event.
