Last nights reported airstrike in #Syria is odd, from the reports it's slightly different, AD reportedly fired from 2 confirmed and maybe a third Governorate. Also very little details on the actual target site itself, which I think may be a new site.
OK, i've done the usual and mapped out some potential AOI. I'll share again as I go along once the imagery starts coming in.
Initial and horribly shown thoughts, the reports are that the reported airstrike came from over Tripoli, Lebanon. AD from Tartus and Masyaf/Hama area so thoughts are the potential strike location is in the yellow box area. Of course, I could be wrong, but thinking aloud here. Image

Biden Administration not taking long change @USAmbIsrael to "U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza” - I think this is showing they see it three seperate “entities” Israel (including Jerusalem?) West Bank and Gaza.

According to reports #Iran's #IRGC have conducted an unannounced exercise including drones and ballistic missiles, surface to surface. The BM tests included Zolfaghar and Dezful, potentially more.
The "First Phase" of the 15th Prophet exercise was completed successfully.

I assume this means there is more to come...
New generations of missiles were used, a new Zolfaghar, Dezful, and Zelzal. They are reportedly now equipable with detachable warheads according to state media.
