Syria Vows To Respond After ‘Large-Scale’ Drone From Iraq (Videos)

Syria’s military said on March 30 that a large-scale drone attack targeted its bases near the border with Iraq, vowing to respond.

In a statement, the military reported “a large-scale attack by a number of drones targeting several army bases near the Iraqi border at dawn today,” saying that most of the drones were intercepted.

“We are studying our options and will respond appropriately to neutralize any threat and prevent any aggression against Syrian territory,” it added in a statement carried by the state-run SANA news agency.

Following the attack, the military deployed large reinforcements, including rocket launchers and drone units, along the border with Iraq, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The London-based monitoring group noted that many of the troops sent there are foreign jihadists, and said that a Tribal mobilization was ongoing.

Assistant defense minister for eastern Syria, Sipan Hamo, said a day earlier that four drones from Iraq attacked a United States base near the town of Qasrak in the governorate of al-Hasakah, but were intercepted.

“We hold Iraq responsible and call upon it to prevent the recurrence of attacks that threaten our stability,” Hamo said in a post to X.

The day before, Syria’s army said it repelled another drone attack from Iraq targeting al-Tanf in the governorate of Rif Dimashq, a base which used to house U.S. forces.

Another base in eastern Syria was targeted with rockets last week. An Iraqi official said an Iraqi faction was behind the attack, and four people were arrested in connection with it.

Syria has not outright supported the American-Israeli war on Iran, which began more than a month ago, but it has repeatedly condemned retaliatory strikes by the Islamic Republic targeting facilities hosting or supporting the U.S. military in Arab countries.

Multiple reports speculated that Sharaa will attack Iran allies in Lebanon or Iraq. Despite official denial by Syria, this led to some serious tensions.

Just last week, Iran threatened to target the People’s Palace in the Syrian capital, Damascus, as well as two luxury hotels located nearby, claiming that American, British and even Israeli experts were present there. Syria refrained from responding to the threat.

Iran-aligned armed factions in Iraq are widely believed to be behind all recent attacks on military bases in Syria. Any action by the country against these factions could, however, trigger a fierce response. The Islamic Republic could easily take down the country’s war-torn infrastructure, ending any prospect of recovery.

when the traitorous alawites, who made this year’s destruction of iran possible, fled to lebanon last year, hezbollah should have shot them all and thrown them into roadside ditches.hezbollah should have said last year: we defended you from isis, you divided the country up for al qaeda and hts, and now you are running into leban. you will not get far because you traitors deserve only death and nothing but death!

it has nothing to do with alawites israel and their turkish ally erdogan and aliyev did this to syria. all jihadists who took over syria are foreign agents trained by turkey and israel. doing the jews bidding in making syria uninhabitable so the jews can later steal the land. the only thing you can blame the alawites for is that they lastest so long under immense international pressure from all sides. it was the saa who kept the jews from expanding and making war with iran and lebanon.

Hmmhmmm

al nusra djihadists were welcomed in israelis hospitals and even filmed with satanyahu in ziiv medical center. after ousting the blue helmets of the un in the golan highs, the useful idiots djihadists were ousted by israelis….. this is the israeli project for all of syria.

the alawites, by their betrayal and escape to russia, made the destruction of iran possible. as payment for their drones that turned the course of the war in ukraine into a russian win, the iranians should demand that russia kill all the alawites who fled to russia. the russians should not have these traitors to moscow, but rather throw them into the sea on the way. we should simply open the plane doors and kick each one into the sea.

Mowaten

you have serious mental issues. posting nonsense 10x a day about alawites knowing full well nobody is buying your bs. are you doing it for the shekel, or because you stopped taking your meds?

Cleaner

maybe just a bot. i can’t believe a human beeing can collect that much bullshit.

Itsthejews

the only one who deserves to be killed are the turkish jew helpers within turkey and azerbaijan and the jihadists who took over syria. they are foreign occupiers. i hope the day comes both erdogan and aliyev get ousted and i hope aliyev gets hung from a lamp pole i hate that jew helper cockroach much more then erdogan as hes the worst of the worst. he needs to pay for his crimes against humanity. most turks dont want israel to destroy syria but erdogan and aliyev want it.

iran will be destroyed because the alawites are cowardly traitors and the russians helped them escape. the russians should throw every traitor who fled to russia in the style of augusto pinochet’s servants into the sea, never to be found again. what these traitors have done to iran can only be paid with death and no other punishment is appropriate.

Ivan

any traitor who has fled to a russian base is a damned criminal traitor and coward, and russian soldiers, if they are soldiers, should kick any such person out of the plane and into the sea while en route to russia. this also applies to their wives and children. the russians made a fundamental mistake in taking these damned traitorous criminals to their russia. china at least knows how to take revenge on traitors, and traitors will pay dearly for their betrayal the panama canal.

whatajoke

how many alawites druz kurds were murdered by new government after taking over then peace prez invites him to white house shakes hand kisses ass and says he’s a great guy

the headchopper in damascus is a us/nato/isreali bitch. of course he will get involved. he will be told to by his handlers. most if not all the targets are us bases that still operate in the country, courtesy of the headchopper in damascus. no doubt if he does attack iranian interests he will use the us/nato/isreali weapons gifted to him for his ‘regime change’ efforts on behalf of the aforesaid.
