The death toll from the April 27 Israeli strikes on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, has reportedly risen to six.
The Israeli strikes targeted a number of military positions. According to unverified reports, the targets of the strikes included Damascus International Airport and a base of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) elite 4th Division.
Initially, a Syrian military official acknowledged that four service members of the SAA were killed in the Israeli attack. One of the casualties was high-ranking officer, Colonel Rifaat Ali Saleh. The other three casualties were identified as Privates Osama Hamdan, Ramah Hammoud and Jafar al-Hajj.
In the afternoon of April 27, two more casualties were reported by Syrian pro-government sources, Privates Mohamad al-Alloush and Hani al-Ali.

This was the third Israeli attack on Syria in less than a month. On April 9, a series of Israeli airstrikes hit a research center, a weapons factory, a military base and a suspected air-defense site in the outskirts of the town of Masyaf in the western Hama countryside. On April 14, another wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted a position of the SAA located near the town of Kafr Qouq in the western countryside of Damascus.
The recent attacks on Syria were all a part of Israel’s “War-Between-Wars” military campaign, which is meant to hinder Iranian entrenchment in the war-torn country and prevent the transfer of advanced Iranian-made weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Syria condemned the new Israeli attack on Damascus in a letter to the United Nations Security Council, maintaining its right to respond.
Shame on the greedy Vatican controlled Khazars. They kill, destroy, and steal everywhere they go.
Actually it is opposite. Vatican is controled by Zionists and Washington.
Vermin’s you better pray we don’t locate you via GPS and snuff your ass. I wish I could talk more but the things we can do will make you turn to mommy and run.
filthy piece of khazar garbage.
Watch this The Empire of “The City” – Three City States: London, Vatican, District of Columbia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFZnwl1x8gc
Vatican is controlled by the Jesuits. Jesuits are making inroads to China.
Sephardi, Mizrahi or Ethiopian Jews are Khazars?!
Assad act as a pussy. This is more than a declaration of war from the illegal entity israhell. Always crying as a child. Hit them where it hurts !!!
The isreali apartheid regime steps up its illegal attacks on another sovereign country, just as the US and its nato poodles attack another sovereign country. Hmm, weird that.
If baathist party had any honor, most of the chaos would have been avoided
the world cannot begin to heal until all zionazi vermin and their handlers are exterminated
From Ukraine 🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱 to Syria, bring it, we GIVE it 💙
You seem to have lost it even more than last time… what is with the childish exaltation and emoji frenzy every time Syrians die ? There’s nothing new in that and we all know America’s little protegee has all the means it wants to strike at Syria’s downed body right now,it’s what makes you offcial cowards here, when you’re not busy boasting top-notch US-taxpayer funded air force to bomb a starving third world enclave / open-air prison called Gaza.
Besides about Ukraine, you probably refer to the few irrelevant jewish mercenaries saluting neo-nazis and dying just like them at Russian hands ? More cannon fodder for Russia’s Iskanders. Good,I like it too. A bit like the Mossad staff and officers turned to pulverized purple jam at Erbil that also have my sympathies,courtesy of Iran’s DIO for you. Having a taste of their most advanced and precise ordnance makes you quite the privileged crowd you know !
This is Icarus Tanovic. Real Iron Zion is written Iron_Zion.
Yeah.. write a strongly worded letter to the UN. That ought to scare the crap out of the zios.
Soon khazar occupied Palestine will burn. After the inevitable crash of the IOU fiat filth Saudi Mercan toilet paper dollah paying for the evil welfare warfare abomination in Palestine…the ZionaZi sewer will evaporate. Who will then want these freeloading ghetto thugs from Eastern Urupp anywhere near them? Slumville USSA will have to wall them into some shithole like Montana or such like.
Onward to a free Palestine rid of the angloZionaZi virUS.
Russkie 1980s Scrap Airforce have already lost in barely 60 days: -9 SU-34 fighter/bombers -9 SU-25 CAS jets -5 SU-30SM multirole -1 SU-35S advanced air superiority jets -12 KA-52 alligator -5 Mi-35 -2 Mi-24 -3 Mi-28 -11 Mi-8
Outdated soviet IR countermeasures, outdated electronic warfare defensive jammers, poor radar warning receiver RWR technology, and very poor missile approach warning systems (MAWS) on Russkie jets and helicopters are costing them dearly. Meanwhile Israeli Airforce has carried out over 1000 airstrikes against Syria (largest most advanced air defense in world) in the world, and lost only 1 F-16 in 4 years of airstrikes. And NATO lost only 3 jets against Serbia in 3 months of airstrikes in 1999. Clearly Western radar, jamming, electronics and microprocessor technology is vastly superior to Russkie junk.
At this rate, Russkies wont have an airforce left by next April. Ha
Sad this had to happen, but it would not have happened if Syrian soldiers decided NOT to protect iranian terror militias with air defenses, and allow the IAF ease of operation in targeting them. If this was the case, these Syrians would not have been harmed.
They were manning Pantsir-S1 and BUK-M2E antiaircraft vehicles and engaging cruise missiles that were programmed to target iranian terrorist targets that posed a threat. Big mistake.
They were most likely engaged by HARM anti-radiation missiles and SDB-39 glide bombs and destroyed.
