The Ongoing Attack in Syria
Apparently, Israel has launched another widespread wave of attacks on Iranian and Syrian positions in Syria including:
*Iranian militias headquartered beside the Damascus International Airport
*Iranian cargo planes at the Damascus airport offloading weapons
*A Hezbollah site in Quneitra which produces precision-guided missiles
*A base of Syria’s 165th Batallion
Massive explosions have rocked the area from Damascus all the way to the Golan Heights.
Syria claims that its anti-aircraft missiles have shot down Israeli surface to air missiles as well as Israeli air to ground missiles--but such claims should always be taken with a grain of salt particularly when we see the photos of the destroyed areas tomorrow morning.
