The war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the strikes hit a Scientific Studies and Research Center facility, the agency the U.S. describes as Syria’s chemical weapons manufacturer.
The Observatory also said that a military storage camp next to the center was used to store ground-to-ground rockets and that personnel of Iran and its allied Lebanese Hezbollah group had been seen there more than once.
