Israeli warplanes launched a series of strikes on the Syrian capital, targeting a number of sites south of Damascus. The local Syrian Arab News Agency confirmed some material damage.
The attack took place at around 6 p.m. local time. Israeli aircraft launched strikes from Golan Heights. The exact number of strikes and their targets were not revealed by the Syrian side. The strikes were reported in the area of Sayyida Zeinab, not far from Damascus International Airport. The Director General of the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority reported that no damage was caused to the air harbor of the Syrian capital. According to unofficial reports, a hotel on the way to the airport and a facility on the outskirts of Najha were struck.
In its turn, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that the targets of the strikes were the facilities of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah deployed in Syria. The attack targeted the local branch of the Hezbollah intelligence service, which, according to the IDF, includes an “independent intelligence gathering, coordination and assessment network.”
The IDF added that during the operation in Syria, the Israeli military eliminated the head of the intelligence unit of the movement in Syria, Mahmoud Mohammed Shaheen, who “led the development and deployment of intelligence and air defense equipment in coordination with various units of the pro-Iranian forces.”
“Attacks on Hezbollah military intelligence facilities in Syria contribute to operations in Lebanon, undermining the intelligence capabilities of the terrorist organization,” the Israeli military stressed.
Earlier, several explosions were reported in the Al-Mazari area near the camps of the Shiite Hezbollah forces fighting on the side of the Syrian army.
Israel escalated its attacks on Syria after 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, Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
basically we are witnessing the breakdown of the sykes picot agreement. the wider international community has to get involved to resolve this issue once for all as the chinese suggest. the wesrtern world is collapsing and is complicit in the colonial project. the german government is too stupid to realise that germany is now complicit or has perpetrated three separate genocides in africa, europe and now the occident.
the idf flies unopposed whenever it wishes along r.f’s ‘yellow brics air corridor’ from the occupied syrn golan heights (un resolution 497, 1981). r.f. has around 15 watch/listen posts near the golan, presumably to provide more assurances to isr; like the disabled s300s they’re not protecting syr! meanwhile look out for bashar’s new book ‘how not to make international alliances’, written in his palace upon the hill (affording a perfect view of isr’s regular damascene incursions).
we just kidnapped an other head of hezbollah. no where to run no where to hide. we are coming for you all.
you bastards are stuck in southern lebanon having your balls fried by hezbollah.
žida by mali upratať, toto čo si dovoľuje je ozaj už trochu priveľa. do kedy im to budú štáty blízkeho východu ešte tolerovať? katar by sa mal spamätať a spolu s ním aj zopár ďalších štátov, ktoré sú stále spojencami darebáckeho štátu usa!!! mysleniu zdar a svetu mier!!!
probably the last we see of the greater israel dream and the jews’ frantic attacks here and there are a sign of a dream collapsing and the chaos that follows. poofs in the white house are complicit in the genocide and their dream of controlling all the oil in the me is crumbling. a determined alliance to finish off the jews illegally occupying palestine will probably succeed the question is if the jews and/or the poofs will abstain from using their nukes!
best wishes for a three state solution in syria.
