A private Israeli intelligence firm on Monday identified one of the sites in Syria targeted in an alleged Israeli airstrike earlier in the day as a hangar likely storing advanced weaponry or other military equipment.

In the predawn hours of Monday morning, Syria accused Israel of conducting a series of air- and sea-based attacks on military facilities throughout the country. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group, at least 15 people were killed during the strike, including six civilians under unclear circumstances.


The Observatory said at least a dozen Iranian-linked targets were hit in the strikes, two near Homs and 10 of them near Damascus, including a base where Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces are headquartered and a weapons research center.

Israel did not comment on the attack — one of the most extensive series of strikes in several months, coming less than a week after a trilateral summit with Russia and the United States concerning Tehran’s activities and military presence in the region.

ImageSat International, a satellite imagery analysis firm, released a photograph of one of the targets: a hangar located at the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) in Jamraya, outside Damascus.

A photograph of the same site from June 4 showed a 12-meter (39-foot) by 30-meter (98-foot) hangar in Jamraya, which lies approximately 10 kilometers (seven miles) northwest of Damascus. The image from Monday showed the structure completely destroyed.

According to ImageSat, the building was “probably used for storage of advanced weapon systems or another sensitive element.”

The Hezbollah terror group and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp have been said to maintain a presence at the Jamraya facility.

The US has repeatedly imposed sanctions on the SSRC for its alleged role in chemical weapons production. France has also imposed sanctions on the agency.

Israeli airstrikes reportedly hit the facility in May 2013 and again in February 2018.

The monitor said that at some sites, large blasts were caused by exploding ammunition depots and noted many ambulances had headed to the sites.

There was no response from the Israel Defense Forces, which rarely comments on reported strikes.

The Israeli military has acknowledged carrying out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria in recent years, on targets linked to Iran, which is backing President Bashar Assad’s regime in the Syrian civil war.

Yossi Cohen, the head of the Mossad intelligence service, said Monday that Israel “can’t agree to Syria becoming a staging ground for Iranian forces or forces operated by it against us. We can’t agree to Syria becoming a logistics base for transferring weapons to Hezbollah and Lebanon.”

Cohen did not refer specifically to the Monday strikes, but acknowledged that Israel conducted military activities in Syria.

“Israel has taken action in the past four years, overtly and covertly, about which only a small amount has been published, in order to block the entrenchment and the production lines of precision-guided munitions,” he said.

The reported strikes came just hours after an Israeli satellite imagery analysis company said Syria’s entire S-300 air defense system appeared to be operational, indicating a greater threat to Israel’s ability to conduct airstrikes against Iranian and pro-Iranian forces in the country.

Until now, only three of the country’s four surface-to-air missile launchers had been seen fully set up at the Masyaf base in northwestern Syria.

Israel has threatened to destroy the S-300 system if it is used against its fighter jets, regardless of the potential blowback from Russia.

Dude, stop it, this Netanyahu propaganda is boring and doesnt impress anyone outside of Israel. He is brainwashing Israelis on daily basis about Israel surrounded by evil enemies and how he is the only one who can protect it. Then he orders regular attacks on some random empty buildings in Syria and claims how he has destroyed Iranian base with Iranian Generals inside or deadly Hezbollah missiles depot or advanced arm factory or anything else. Try something new already. These Baghdad Bob of Israel stories are laughable.

One hanger - reportedly housing advanced equipment - struck and destroyed.

Not sure what was inside.

S-300 system operational at the time of recent strikes.


The Israelis have been training with the Greek Air Force and they know how to evade the Russian defence system.

It’s better if Syria puts them in museums as showpieces, at least they’ll get some revenue from it
 
Why the fuk are you attacking another country

Why is the other country allowing rockets to be transferred to a terror organisation that target are citizens ? no country would allow something like this. This is not about Syria , it is about Iran using proxies to attack other countries.

Sadly Assad owes them so he lets them use his territory. 99% of attacks are about that.

If Israel does nothing it would soon have the same situation as we have in Lebanon.

Even a mad dog does not bite someone unless they are wokenup, you started the killings your IDF are killing the innocents, peaceful protest is the right of everyone and yet you are using live ammunitions on them

If you want to writs hysterical lies than there is no point of me answering is there.

In all our years of conflicts with the Palestinians total number of death where something like 15,000 - 20,000 on both sides. Reduce from that a few thousands Israelis that also died.

Nothing to be happy about , But consider it was over a period of 70 years to conflict but to call it genocide is a dirty lie.

Kindly read before making stupid declarations :

" A variety of studies provide differing casualty data for the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, 13,000 Israelis and Palestinians were killed in conflict with each other between 1948 and 1997.[260] Other estimations give 14,500 killed between 1948–2009. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict



As for playing dumb for the reason we bomb in Syria:

Here is a clip showing a missile depot blowing up , if it was not blown up those missiles delivered by Iran via Syria to Hezbollah would end up landing on our own citizens as it happened in the past :





P.s

You got to " love " those hypocrites that say nothing when Assad barrel boms his people or Russia bombing Syrian cities on a daily bases , leaving tens of thousand dead . But have issues with Israel protecting its own citizens from rockets that would surely land on their heads .

yep, peaceful and innocents protestors that throw rocks and explosives devices on another country border.
Definitely right of everybody.
And what it has to do with the article except for trolling?

Not sure why Iran doesn't deploy its 15th Khordad and 3rd Khordad air defense systems in Syria? Since S-300 was already compromised and Israel has done enough counter training and maneuvers, and found all of its shortcomings, Syria is helpless when it comes to encountering these constant Israeli provocations. Therefore, perhaps it is time Iran deploys those potent and not compromised air defense systems in Syria.
 
S-300 never fired a single shot yet..
The reason nobody rely on Russia as an ally. Egypt had to kick them out to deal with Israel in 70s

Which ends up a disaster.

Egypt military had not prepared well, Russians knew it, but president Gamal Abdel Nasser didn't think so. He over estimated himself and his military. Six-Day War is a disaster, militarily and politically.

The consequence is severe. Egypt signed Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty. Palestine was sold on 26 March 1979, it was 40 years ago.

Egypt got its sinai back unless Israel would had made it another Golan.

Israel captures and occupies the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria because of Six-Day War

There will NOT be Sinai Peninsula issue in the first place if Nasser had NOT made misjudgment. Russians knew it, he didn't.
 
I have a question in those attacks how many iranian operatives and equipment get disintegrated to subatomic levels ?
