Arab media reports on Wednesday that Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets struck the Damascus Airport in the morning hours.
According to the reports, powerful explosions were heard in the international airport. In parallel, the airport's electricity went out completely, and flight traffic was temporarily halted.
It is not clear whether the target of the alleged strikes were an arms shipment, or a terror cell planning attacks against Israel.
Just last week Arab media quoted sources in Syria reporting that the IAF
struck a transfer of Scud missiles to the Iran terror proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, in strikes that took place in the Qalamoun mountainous border region.
That report followed on the heels of Syrian media reports the previous Saturday of an
alleged Israeli airstrike in the Qalamoun region, targeting Hezbollah and Syrian regime forces.
Last April, it was reported in Arab media that IAF jets struck a Scud missile shipment as it was leaving the Syrian capital of Damascus.
The IDF has taken a policy of preventing advanced rockets from reaching Hezbollah on Israel's northern border, which already is said to have a rocket arsenal ten times that of Hamas in Gaza.
When was the last time Israel agreed that it Attacked a Target Inside Syria???
The Strike most probably true.. it might not be acknowledge by Syria maybe because Russia doesn't want it let people know it. What!! you think IDF will obey whatever Russians force on??? Why?? the unconfirmed report says IDF stroke during armed shipment,which usually IDF does..
