Israel's military disclosed details of its September 8, 2024, operation targeting an Iranian-funded underground missile production site in Masyaf, Syria. The Israeli Air Force deployed over 100 Kingfisher fighters, supported by helicopters, jets, and naval ships, to destroy the "Deep Layer" facility. Built with Iranian backing, the site produced precision missiles for Hezbollah and Syria's Assad regime. Critical machinery, weapons, and intelligence documents were seized before the facility was demolished. Air Force Commander Major General Tomer Bar called the mission essential to Israel's security. All personnel returned safely, marking a significant blow to Iran's regional ambitions.
