On 17 April 2018 (12:42) the matzav blog included this photograph with the headline "IDF Publishes Satellite Images Of The Iranian Air Force Presence In Syria" with the text:
The IDF today published satellite images of what they claim is a Iranian air force presence in Syria.
 
“Iran is planning an operation against Israel from Syria. Iran is gaining control in Syria using their air force,” one intelligence official explained.
On 18th April ynet (https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-5232780,00.html) captioned this photograph as "One of the Syrian bases in which the Iranians settled." The article was: Iran's air force is exposed in Syria: The IDF is preparing for missiles and missiles at Israel
 
The IDF warns Iran of retaliation for the attack on the Syrian base, in which seven Iranian military personnel were killed, and Qods Force Commander Qassim Suleimani is leading the operation that could be carried out in the near future by means of anti-tank missiles for intelligence and attack and even missiles coming to Israel. These are the bases of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria. (Translated from Hebrew)
