Operationally remarkable... but with consequence.
Yes, it will have consequences.
I was reading up on the Israel Syria thing the other day.
Israel has, since 2011, conducted well over 100 air strikes into Syria for a variety of reasons, hitting either Hezbollah or other Iran proxy locations/assets.

I don't think Iran is going to take this sitting down.
