On September 12, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz revealed a map of military facilities across Syria he alleged were used to manufacture precision-guided missiles for Iran and its allies in the Middle East.
Gantz presented the map while giving a speech at a conference in New York city that was organized by The Jerusalem Post on the occasion of its 90th anniversary.
“Iran is building terror industries in Syria for its needs. Recently it started building advanced industries in Yemen and Lebanon as well. This trend must be stopped,” the minister said.
Gantz pointed at a large facility of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, which he referred to by its French name Centre D’Etudes et de Recherches Scientifiques (CERS), near the town of Masyaf in Hama and claimed that Iran is manufacturing precision-guided missiles there.
“The sites that I reveal to you on the map, and in particular the underground site in Masyaf where precision missiles are manufactured, constitute a significant potential threat to the region and to Israel,” Gantz said.
Gantz claimed that Iran transformed Syrian military sites into precision-guided missile manufacturing facilities to supply Hezbollah and other pro-Iranian factions in the region. He added that the initiative began under Qassem Soleimani, the former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force who was killed in a US drone strike near the airport of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in 2020.

The CERS Masyaf facility was the target of a large-scale Israeli aerial attack on August 25. The attack destroyed much of the facility. Secondary explosions and fires wounded 14 civilians in nearby towns and villages.
The attack on the facility marked an uptake in Israeli attacks on Syria. The most recent attacks disrupted operations at two major airports in Damascus and Aleppo. Israel claimed earlier this year that Iran was smuggling advanced weapons through Syrian airports.
Gantz claims are likely meant to justify more attacks on Syria. Israel appears to be determined to neutralize the country’s military capabilities under the pretext of containing the influence of Iran and its allies.
And will the Russian Federation “AGAIN” state on the floor of the UN security council that an attack on our host that carries our military installations within it’s borders is an attack on the Russian Federation!???…
Where are ye Pootie-Poot!???
Might as well post this here for all our “$ix-$ided-$tar” friend”$” that believe they will be immune from “glowing” like their mentor Yankee D00dle Goy” – https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/prologue-3rd-world-war-kremlin-reacts-security-guarantees-ukraine
Don’t worry Syrians, Putin will protect you….
The truth is Putin is great friend of Israel. No matter our misunderstanding in Ukraine, he understands our need for security of the promised land. Despite this he is still a piece of shit and come the time we will neutralise him. His barbaric and cowardly murder of our brothers is failing and soon it will reach him… it’s complicated 🦾🇮🇱🦾
I suppose if Israel and its nation didn’t murder brutalise and assassinate there neighbours, the old and the defenceless it would have nothing to worry about. But as they do murder assassinate and rape and bugger prisoners, even children, yes I think they should be very worried.
We will bomb and blow these soon. We will coordinate with our friends. Syria will say they engage targets. The targets will be destroyed. The Russians will give state after. Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell, as I have always promised, we fight terror and take back every inch of the promised land. Our Russian friends understand this reality. They know from Ukraine what we can do to them 🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾🇮🇱🦾
