IDF: Shaldag commando unit attack on an underground Iranian missile production facility in September
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Wednesday that an attack was carried out in September by the Shaldag commando unit on an underground Iranian missile production facility near Maysaf, Syria.
The operation was directed against two key targets: the Syrian Defense Industries Scientific Study and Research Center and the missile production facility operated by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Israel had been monitoring the facility for years and informed the USA about the operation in advance. Previous airstrikes on the facility had not had the desired destructive effect.
During the two-and-a-half-hour operation, the Shaldag commandos rappelled down from helicopters, entered the facility, confiscated important documents and planted explosive charges that ultimately destroyed the facility.
