The Israeli air force carried out the strikes in coordination with the US, but American forces were not actively involved,  Axios journalist Barak Ravid reported.

The airstrikes come after Sunday’s attack at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, which injured six people and forced foreign airlines to suspend all flights to Israel.
