A violent wave of Israeli strikes targeted the Syrian capital, Damascus, on November 14, causing a large number of casualties.
The strikes targeted two residential buildings in the Mezzeh district of the capital and the nearby city of Qudssaya, according to Syrian state TV. The Mazzeh neighborhood hosts embassies, United Nations offices and security headquarters. Qudssaya, located on the outskirts of Damascus, is also considered a highly-secured area.
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported later, citing a military official, that the strikes killed 15 people and wounded at least 16 others, including women and children.
The deadly Israeli strikes took place as Syria was preparing to welcome Ali Larijani, the senior adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The senior Iranian official is expected to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to discuses the situation in the region.
Israel has escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip last October, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
After expanding operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon in September, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.
Just a day earlier, a series of Israeli strikes hit the central Syrian governorate of Homs, destroying a number of bridges and roads on the border with Lebanon. The IDF alleged that these routes were being used to supply Hezbollah with Iranian weapons.

while russia does nothing to defend it’s host?!…
or at least give to syria zircon missile to hit tel aviv
because russia is on the mercy of israel. maybe putin is dumb but he is not as dumb to be unable predict the result of the war simulation involving 1000+ israeli jets including 300+ gen 5 fighters plus u.s. military jets located in saudi, qatar plus u.s. miitary jets located on carrier strike group(s) plus missiles on the u.s. destroyers and support ships. putin can “counter” that with his tiny <100 aircrafts contingent in khmeimim. the "war" will be over in less then one hour.
you’re forgetting what will happen “everywhere else” when zi0ni$t/u.$/nato pile into the rest of the holdout(s) in the me?!!! meet the “peacemaker” that nato will never fuck with unless it wants to permanently end it’s, north america’s and western europe’s existence – “russian nuclear weapons are keeping nato troops out of ukraine: top admiral”!….
afghanistan war was not caused by the jews, is it ? let me remind you, afghanistan started 10 years before the 11.september. it is not only jews who loves skeletons in the closet. americans never miss an opportunity to start a dirty little war in the name of world domination, earning money and spreading “democracy”.
and there will be no nuclear war over iran. neither the russians nor the americans really mind if they just destroy iran and neither of them wins. if they don’t win it, they at least break everything on the ground so that the opponent power doesn’t benefit from that.
than if that is the case why has russia sold them it’s hypersonic technology and it’s alliance with it’s currency – “russia’s mir payment system connected to iran’s shetab”?…
putin said before he dont care about israel attack assad army
putin attack only jihadist
according to wikipedia, israel’s air force comprises of 613 aircraft. that number includes all aircraft from trainer planes to f-16 fighters, of which israel has 175, and 39 f-35 lightening ii.
dimona will look both fun and interesting when an rsm-56 bulava hits it. this is why the zi0ni$t bitches are wailing and nashing it’$ teeth in ukraine!… also those airplanes will get hit again… and again… and again… by converted “fatah(s)” with iskander and zircon conventional warheads that can just as easily be converted to non-conventional as i$rael continues to escalate with money it’$ patron bitch keeps running out of. make you r”wi$h” j** boyz and girlz!!!!
you’re on the hi- ball today champ, but those figures you quote appear somewhat rubbery to me. one’s imagination can get the better of one’s ability to think lucidly at times. settle down. 😵💫. it’s only 0.16c an hour.
putin dont care about syria
he attack only jihadist terrorist
too late now. stupid israel should’ve bombed the ithriya road & cut the last link between damascus & aleppo, during the time when every major city & military airbase were surrounded, & assad was about to be defeated & syria broken up. once putin entered he & assad managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat & opened the iran missiles,weapons,fighters landbrige that has made hizbollah undefeatable on the ground
je už fakt na čase začať likvidovať židom tie ich lietadlá!!! tak isto treba vyhnať zvyšky okupantov z usa ktorí sú stále v sýrii. ak sa nepoberú tak ich treba zlikvidovať!!! svetu mier!!!
russia needs to establish a “no fly zone” for israeli jets over syria immediately. israel is desperate to drag more and more countries into its insane, hitler-like fight against everyone in the region and beyond. now is the time to stop these mad dogs, not after they achieved their goal of destroying the entire region.
putin will never do anything against israel, he has said that “russia considers israel a russian speaking county” – this because at least 2 millions russian speakers jews live in israel – don’t count on what russia says about 2 states solution, those are empty talks, russia wants whole occupied palestine for jews but prefer less blood, less killing etc
hit tel aviv.
cant because if they do so israel will bomb assad palace problem
such potential those lovely bridge building contracts .my uncle built one in the north west and retired for life at 27 .still has pots of money to spend.
russia is so weak . syria is alone
putin said before he dont care about syria
