Hezbollah Deployed Iranian-Made Air Defense System Near Syria’s Damascus - Report

File image.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah has deployed an Iranian-made air defense system near the Syrian capital, Damascus, Zaman Alwsl reported on January 6.

The Syrian pro-opposition news outlet said that the air defense system was deployed at a position of Hezbollah near the town of Rakhlah on the border line with Lebanon, some 30 kilometers to the west of Damascus.

The unidentified air defense system was allegedly brought in all the way from the governorate of Deir Ezzor in the eastern region of Syria.

“The system was deployed and activated, under the supervision of an air defense expert of the Lebanese national who works for Hezbollah,” a reporter of Zaman Alwsl said.

According to Zaman Alwsl, Hezbollah has been working to expand and fortify its positions in the outskirts of Rakhlah for a while now.

The report came just four days after a series of Israeli strikes that targeted Damascus International Airport. Six Syrian soldiers were killed and two others were wounded in the strikes, which were reportedly carried out to prevent the delivery of Iranian-made weapons to Hezbollah via the airport.

Hezbollah do possess some air defense capabilities. Nevertheless, the group didn’t deploy any air defense systems in Syria in the past, most likely because the country already has a well-built air defense network. This raises some serious questions about the claims made by Zaman Alwsl.

It’s worth noting that fake news about the movements of Hezbollah and other Iran-affiliated armed factions in Syria are usually used to justify Israeli attacks on the country.

lesbollah is merely just a soldier in sufyanis army.

however I believe Ukraine is hitting a turning point where too many Ukrainians are killing too many Russians, and dogs eating Humans is a subhuman act especially to encourage.

Any sexual violence by either side would be a disgrace to the war by either side.

And Strategically excessive behavior would lead supporters to degenerate.

My assessment in Ukraine is that the scales have tipped, so I tend to side with the loser to prevent extreme disasters.

And I consider All Asians as Inviable Brothers from Mongolia to Japan to Guinea to India.

Ukraine vs Russia is secondary to Syria, so I would run to Syria rather than Ukraine.

Schicksal Foundation is corrupted

1 F-16 back in 2018 2 Israeli pilots wounded Israeli Fighters were conducting air strikes against Iranian-backed targets in Syria and was shot down by Syrian S-200 missile.

Hezbollah has a scary arsenal. In 2006 Israel attacked southern Lebanon ………………… it was a total disaster. “The Divine Victory” as the Lebanese call it. Israel failed even to conquer an armored town 3.5 km from its northern border. The defeat was tremendous. There is talk of 800 tanks destroyed in ambushes and battles……… and hundreds of missiles fired on Israel every day for 33 days. The Golani special troops division was annihilated, etc. etc. .

I’m sorry but wtf is this source, they don’t even have a wiki page and it was founded back in 2005…

Their “contact” info is just an email, it is only in Arabic and their about us page is full of cuck sucking (I’m not even joking).

Other report from this site; “A Baathist official and militia leader obtains asylum in Germany and specializes in integrating refugees” (Yes, they are fake “news” site). There are more and it is mostly about FSA/West funded anti Assad groups.

Okay, they have a telegram channel and it is mostly FSA cuck sucking and nothing more. IDK SF – I don’t think these people would know about that.

Looking forward to major payback against squatting khazars in 2023. The naZi regime in apartheid, occupied Palestine is the source of cancer throughout the ME. It must be excised, extirpated and destroyed.

I don’t think they would bother. If Syrian air defenses can’t do the job, why would theirs be able to? They need to and probably are focusing their air defense efforts in Lebanon, who virtually has none and where israeli aircraft continue to violate their airspace in order to fire long range missiles into Syria.

What bro? Syria ADS are more than capable but Bashar knows shooting down IAF will open up another front it’s not worth fighting at the moment. Syria will have to take hits before it goes full force on Israel, it just takes time. Unfortunately too much time
