At least nine pro-Iran fighters killed in Syria strike blamed on Israel

[Phantomboxe]

Syria said Tuesday that Israeli fighter jets carried out strikes on a military base south of Damascus, just hours after Israel warned of "irregular" activity by Iranian forces in the country.

Reports said that the targets of the strikes were Iranian missiles trained on Israel.

 

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said meanwhile that the missiles had targeted a weapons depot in Kissweh, "presumably belonging to Hezbollah and the Iranians".

 

The monitor also reported that at least nine pro-government fighters, "including members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and other pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen", but it was not possible to independently confirm the death toll nor the nationalities of any casualties.

 

The Syrian army claimed that its anti-aircraft defenses intercepted and destroyed "two Israeli missiles launched against (the district of) Kissweh", Syria's official SANA news agency said.

The agency had earlier reported "explosions" in the southern suburb, while state television broadcast images of fires in the area targeted by the strikes.

There was no comment on the strikes from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which rarely confirms or denies its operations in Syria.

 

SANA quoted a medical source saying that two civilians had died on a highway linking Damascus with the southern city of Deraa as a result of an explosion linked to "the Israeli aggression", without providing details.

 

Tuesday's strikes came just hours after President Donald Trump withdrew the US from a multinational nuclear deal with Iran, a move Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately praised as "brave" and "correct".

His statement came as the IDF ordered civilian shelters in the country's northern Golan Heights region to be opened and called up military reserve units after observing what it described as "irregular" activity by Iranian forces in Syria.

 

Multiple Iranian officials have vowed to take revenge for an alleged Israeli strike on Syria last month that killed several Iranian military personnel, sparking weeks of military preparations in Israel.

On April 9 missiles targeted the T-4 air base in the central province of Homs, killing up to 14 fighters, including seven Iranians, two days after an alleged chemical attack carried out by the Syrian regime.

 

The air base was also targeted by Israel in February.

On April 29, at least 26 mostly Iranian fighters were killed by missiles fired on regime military positions, according to the Observatory.

The strikes, "probably Israeli", targeted a military airport in Aleppo in the country's north and Brigade 47 in Hama, where Iranian forces are stationed, the Observatory said.

In recent years, particularly since 2017, Israel has carried out numerous strikes in Syria against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and his ally, the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

Occasional clashes have erupted between Israel and the Syrian regime and its Hezbollah ally in the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since 1967.

Israel is concerned that Iran and Hezbollah are embedding forces along its border.

In an interview late last month, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed to strike at any attempt by Iran to establish a "military foothold" in Syria.

 its about time people learned no matter what happen Syria is wining

[steven36]

Wining and won is 2 different things , always i thought these wars that different countries support over in the middle east are just fronts to draw most  the terrorist  over to the middle east so the problems don't be big  in there own country . Nobody wins in war even if Syria gets rid of the ISIS  they will just popup somewhere else maybe under a new name and next time they may be attacking were you live. It's easy to be safe at home and talk about it but only the solders really know what is really going on and Israel doing stuff like this is nothing new they been doing this for the last 7 years every time the war gets to close too there border .
