A tweet purportedly from the Israeli military shows the shocking moment when a guided missile blows up an enemy anti-aircraft site.
The camera-mounted missile shows the approach toward a Russian-made SA-22 Greyhound missile truck.
A tweet by @IDFSpokesperson, supposedly the official account of the Israeli Defense Forces, said the mobile missile battery was Iranian, and Israel was retaliating for Iran shelling Israeli military emplacements.

According to @IDFSpokesperson, Iranian military installations throughout Syria were targeted.
“The IDF struck an SA22 aerial interception system as part of a wide-scale attack against Iranian military sites in Syria,” said the twitter feed.
“The IDF strikes were a response to the rockets that were launched by the Iranian Quds Forces against IDF positions on the Golan Heights & the Syrian aerial defense fire at IAF aircraft.
“Iran is actively conducting its military activities beyond its borders, which not only is a threat to Israel, but to the Middle East as a whole.”
The IDF has struck dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria in response to the Iranian rocket attack against Israel. Quds force is behind attack and has played the initial price. IDF remains ready for various scenarios but does not seek to escalate the situation. pic.twitter.com/4rC8gHK2LG
