The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on March 12 that it had struck two sites of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in Syria’s southern region where members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah were operating.
In a statement, the IDF said that it “holds the Syrian regime accountable for all activities which take place within its territory and will not allow for any attempted actions which could lead to the entrenchment of Hezbollah on the Syrian front.”
The strikes were carried out after “precise intelligence which incriminated the infrastructure” were gathered, the IDF added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that two SAA sites in the area of Tell al-Ahmar in the countryside of al-Qunitra governorate were struck by the IDF.
Two non-Syrian nationals were killed in the Israeli strikes, the London-based monitoring group said in a report, adding that there is no evidence confirming that the casualties were members of Hezbollah. It is important to note that the group shared false information with regard to Israeli attacks on Syria on several occasions in the past.
The Israeli strikes came hours after Hezbollah fired more than a hundred “Katyusha” rockets from its heartland in southern Lebanon at the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting the headquarters of the Air and Missile Defense Command in Keila Barracks, the missile and artillery base in Yoav and several artillery sites.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip, targeting mainly SAA sites and personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other affiliated forces.
War-torn Syria has so far largely refrained from responding to Israel’s repeated attacks in order to avoid a dangerous confrontation.
zionist child killers are in panic mode.
muhammad child rapists also fleeing for their lives
only reeetards like jews and americans see war as a first resort. there is a clear limit to brute force approaches to conflict resolution but the zionists have been imbreeding too much and damaged their genetics to understand reality. they cannot behave like animals and expect to live in peace. such simplicity is misunderstood by braindead overrated jews
sadly assad, saa and syrian air defence still to weak and lacking more support from russia, china and iran. otherwise they could send a few scud missiles to telaviv as a response and warning to the shlomos
migrants to the north = jewish people back to israel = greater israel. and the funny thing is, these jewish people are going to control all the migrants from jerusalem.
would be nice if the syrian military had the ability to hit back at israhell. some heavy rocket or missile strikes on israhell’s airbases that could knock them out permanently would be nice for starters.
hilarious that they quote “the syrian observatory for human rights”; it’s just a disgruntled (and discredited) expatriate syrian named rami abdul rahman who lives in coventry, england and has a grudge against al assad.
netanyahu is trying desperately to start a full-scale war. if either iran or syria retaliate to his provocations, he is convinced that the usa will come in with all guns blazing. only trouble is their guns appear to be firing blanks these days…..
