Deep dives
Operation Many Ways: A Strategic Strike
Operation Many Ways was a highly coordinated and daring raid by Israeli forces on a Syrian missile production facility in September 2024. The facility, located near Masyaf, was at risk of producing precision-guided missiles for Hezbollah, which would have posed a significant threat to Israel due to their range of up to 300 kilometers. The operation combined Israeli Air Force airstrikes with ground forces, including commando units, to penetrate deep into enemy territory. Intelligence indicated a critical window of opportunity just as the facility was beginning its demo production, prompting Israel to act decisively and swiftly to neutralize the emerging threat.
