Recent Israeli Strikes On Syria Targeted Army Base, Iranian Weapons Shipment – Reports

The recent Israeli strikes on southern Syria targeted a base of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and an Iranian weapons shipment, the New Arab reported on February 5.

According to the London-based outlet, the airstrikes, which took place late on February 3, hit a large base of the 165th Regiments, one of the SAA’s 1st Corps formations. The base is located near the district of al-Kiswah to the south of the capital, Damascus.

Israel claims that the 1st Corps is cooperating with Iranian-backed forces, namely Hezbollah, in southern Syria. Several bases of the corps were struck in the last few months.

The second target of the strikes was reportedly an Iranian weapons shipment, which arrived at Damascus International Airport on the same day. Two strikes hit the shipment, according to the New Arab.

The SAA General Command said ground-to-ground and air-to-ground missiles were used in the large attack. Some of the hostile missiles were intercepted.

The repeated Israeli strikes on Syria are a part of a political-military campaign meant to pressure Iran into withdrawing its forces from the war-torn country.

Since the beginning of the strikes in 2012, Syria has declined to respond militarily. This has only encouraged Israel to step up its attacks.

Yeah, ok, let me reformulate. Everybody knows thar Russia won’t allow Iran threaten Israel from Syrian teeitory.

Jens Holm

The stupidisme is made by Yourself. The Occy writing is common knowledge for decades.

Well about allowing of Yours, You of course has to pay the price like anybody else making that kind of patents.

Tommy Jensen

If Israel does that just one more time again we will provide Assad with S-300.

Jens Holm

Thats might help. The ones in Syria is only plastic for safety matters.

Ashok Varma

Iran should be bringing up its battle tested Bavar 373 and Khordad missile systems to Syria and Lebanon. Hezbollah’s growing confidence and abilities show that perhaps it has.

“Launched in September 2014, The New Arab is a London-based news website published by UK-based media company Fadaat Media Ltd.”

“An Arabic-language television service currently broadcasting from Turkey, with the hope of moving to Syria”

“Fadaat Media Group was established as a private commercial enterprise in the Qatari capital, Doha, in 2012.”

Very accurate depiction if you add Pakistan on the list. The original Wahhabi terrorist enterprise created by CIA morphed there in the 80’s to fight the Soviet’s and has now become global thanks to the criminal states you mentioned above.

RichardD

Pakistan was for Afghanistan. I’ve seen no evidence that it’s involved in Syria. Do you have any?

Jens Holm

True. We have to put salt nd pepper on it.

Servet Köseoğlu

Well someone has to learn to take good photo,ı almost start to think its red bobsled…luckily your drone has wings…xD.

Okey..off the topic now .. is it true that iran has gained access to Chinese beidou satellite systems?Can you confirm this or is it just rumour?

https://navalnews.net/china-approves-irans-usage-of-beidou-satellite-systems/

Emad Irani

it is true, agreement between China and Iran

Jens Holm

Ha ha. China print their money. Its hard work.

Tommy Jensen

A clear breach of the International Rule Based Usury Order.

Jens Holm

The relations probatly is like Ours to the US sattelites. They give us the information they think we need in own perspective – We add a little back.

SOHR is not reliable and usually inflate everything vs SAA….as I wrote all missile targeting Damascus were shot down…otherwise we have seen videos of ground explosions…..when Israel fail usually targeted SAA post close to its border ( Quneitra, Dara) to avoid that these airstrikes have failed.

John Wallace

It says the news outlet was New Arab , London based. not SOHR. It is several steps higher than SOHR which is as we know a one man anti Assad pro rebel outlet .
https://english.alaraby.co.uk/English

Jens Holm

Yerrh it wasnt even SOHR.

There are semilaries between Trump and a trumpet too.

Jens Holm

COmpared to many others SOHR is a highly reliable source and can be confirmed again and ahain.

As others they do make mistakes.

I kind of expect Yopu shot down all Israelians missiles down with bow and arrow and that the real verification and Your own true happening.

You have no idea about whats going on if You fx only use SANA. If they want to, the sun will go down in east. And if it doesnt, they will say all compasses are wrong.

Rhodium 10

I found many fakes in the supposed satellite images after Israeli airstrikes…and I posted here photos to proof it!…

Simplekindof Man

This looks suspiciously similar to a F80 shooting star without the canopy…
That being said I like it when old stuff is repurposed to serve new and different roles.
Why waste when with some improvisation and ingenuity you can save a ton of money.

chris chuba

Since western readers will accept any fraudulent claim why not say … ‘The Israeli air force targeted terrorist training camps, chemical weapons facilities, and nuclear warhead, and ICBM’s’.

Why not go for even bigger lies (but I do believe they are attacking they Syrian Army, they decided to drop the pretense that everyone in Syria is an Iranian).

Jens Holm

Lies are not needed. Things about those things are much more in the open here and seemes to be secrets for the popujlations, where You are.

Ashok Varma

These Zionist long range missile strikes are pointless and more a sign of defeat and frustration.

The Objective

What a joke

Ashok Varma

So-called Israel is very sick and perverse society.

Roasted some Iran-led proxy members too, just another ordinary day in the ME.

Yea, this is a very ordinary day in Palestine, right?

Frank

Frankly, you just a wanker and not even amusing as a kid.

Ashok Varma

Quite sad really. He/she is just confused teenager in isolated lament.

Ashok Varma

Mum’s out again? post some lunda bazaar photos of Vietnam vintage and pretend you are a “soldier” while she is out. Have to noticed how people now just ignore you. I really feel sorry for you, little chit of a boy.

tzatz

What a loser … f/kn Shia apologist … lol

<>

Don’t feel sorry for me Ashok, atleast I got clean water and good air. And keep my mum out of this, I don’t take this kind of talk in a good way. When I’d get the call again, my uniforms would be the least of your worries.

Just Me

The only uniform you will ever wear is with the Village People Gayoufit at the Tel-Aviv mardi gras.

Frank

Frankly, the Zionist cowardly pinprick stand off missiles are an admission of defeat. More than 500 trucks a day now cross from Mandali to Syria every day, so killing a couple of sleeping kids, besides being cowardly is pointless. The Axis of Resistance is getting more powerful by the day.

johnsmith1984

weak, weaker, Russia

verner

I’d say gone gone gone jews like the dodo bird – extinct.

Ashok Varma

These futile Zionist “strikes” on Syria are an embarrassment and an admission of failure as Iranian footprint is now indelible. The Zionists are getting more and more scared as US is seriously negotiating with Iran and will not fight for a corrupt dying Zionist regime. Mr. Malley’s recent statement is quite telling and must have sent shivers up the cowardly Zionist spinless child killers.

Israel Shouldn’t Drive U.S. Policy on Iran

President Joe Biden is working in tandem with European counterparts to reenter and potentially revise the Iranian nuclear deal which will result in a complete lifting of sanctions and acknowledging Iranian dominance in the region.

The failed maximalist strategy doesn’t produce results in the nuclear arena either. Iran’s stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium has grown considerably and the breakout time is now less than a few days. If Iran were to convert its civilian nuclear energy program into a nuclear weapons program tomorrow, the time it would taketo weaponize its uranium is considerably shorter than before the U.S. adopted the “Maximum Pressure” economic sanctions. And while detractors state Iran can begin enriching uranium in 2025 under the agreement, they ignore that their strategy resulted in Iran enriching uranium in 2018 onwards and is now capable of assembling 3-6 10k weapons in a very short time.

verner

the best news lately is that the INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT has jurisdiction over the illegal settlement israel and will pursue the war crimes by the jews – prosecutor fatou besouda is brave and it will be interesting to see how the war criminals par preference (i.e. the jews) will deal with her or the cases before the court – run her down with a car, plant child pornography on her computers, plant stolen stuff in her home, threaten her children or, more suggestions in order to preempt the friggin scum in palestine – (they can’t really send a prostitute to her like kushner’s father did to his brother in law and then he squealed to his sister).

Alekai Mordechai

Nice target drone Ali.

Those Iron Drones needed some ironing out.

Alekai Mordechai

Nice story there Ali.

Really appreciate your salient contribution here.

Take care and Stay Safe!
