Confessions of an Innocent Bystander:
"The outgoing IDF chief of staff has acknowledged that Israel has been bombing Syria on a 'near-daily' basis for years, in a massive military campaign allegedly aimed at degrading Tehran's supposed military buildup in the region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rarely acknowledge striking specific targets in Syria but its outgoing chief of staff just openly confessed to running a large-scale bombing campaign in its neighbor's territory. In 2018 alone, Israel dropped around 2,000 bombs on alleged Iran-linked targets, Gadi Eisenkot told the New York Times in his final interview as chief of staff of the IDF before he retires next week. 'We struck thousands of targets without claiming responsibility or asking for credit,' Eisenkot stated, confessing to carrying out strikes on a 'near-daily' basis."

Here is a report on southfront on the Israeli targets:
https://southfront.org/israeli-strikes-on-syria-in-2018-map/
It is taken from pro-Turkish media but probably reasonably accurate.
According to this report the IDF has attacked a variety of assets including some Iranian, some Hizbollah, and some SAA.
This would be like China attacking US assets in Australia (or vice versa). Hizbollah and Iran are there at the invitation of the SAG and are helping to eliminate a range of "rebel" groups including HTS (formerly Al Nusra) and ISIS.
