IDF's Shaldag unit dismantles Iranian missile factory in Syria, preventing the production of hundreds of long-range missiles in a high-stakes operation.

As four helicopters left an undisclosed Israeli airbase in the dead of night on September 8, the 100 elite commandos onboard braced themselves for a mission that would etch itself into the annals of Israeli military history.

Israel blew up an Iran sponsored Syrian missile factory after its elite commandos raided it last September. The missiles posed an existential threat to Israel amid its war against Tehran's proxies.

The Israel Defense Forces on Thursday unveiled video footage which showed the September 8 raid conducted by special forces on an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps arms facility used by Hezbollah forces in Syria.
