The move comes after rocket and missile attacks on Israeli forces that Israel said were carried out by Iran, causing tensions to escalate suddenly.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Conricus said that the Israeli army hit intelligence, logistics, storage and vehicle targets, as well as the rocket's origin.
This is one of Israel's largest military operations in recent years and also the largest against Iranian targets. However, Mr. Conricus stressed that Israel is not seeking to escalate tensions.
Also at the press conference, the official accused Major General Qassem Soleimani, the head of foreign operations of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), of commanding the rocket attack on Israeli military bases in the Golan Heights from inside Syrian territory.
Mr. Conricus also said that Israel had informed Russia in advance about its airstrikes on many targets in Syria./.
