The August 25 large-scale Israeli aerial attack on western Syria have reportedly resulted in some heavy civilian and military losses.
The main targets of the attack were a key complex of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) located to the northeast of Masyaf in the western countryside of Hama and a large facility of the Defense Factories in the area of Zawi to the north of the same town. Both targets were struck by Israel multiple times in the past.
The SSRC is Syria’s main military research and development body, while the Defense Factories provides traditional ammunition to the Syrian military.
The Israeli strikes inflicted damage on the Defense Factories. However, the SSRC complex was badly hit. The complex’s depots exploded after receiving direct hits. Secondary explosions went on well into the morning of August 26, forcing local authorities to evacuate civilians from a number of nearby towns and villages.
The secondary explosion in Zawi facility wounded 14 civilians, damaged dozens of residential building and caused a series of wild fires that was still ongoing as of August 26 afternoon.
Israeli fighter jets launched the devastating strikes from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea using stand-off munitions. Syrian air defenses intercepted several of these munitions. However, this was not enough to foil the large-scale aerial attack.
This was Israel’s third confirmed attack on Syria this month. The first attack, which took place on August 12, targeted a military observation post in the countryside of al-Quneitra, while the second attack, which was on August 14, targeted two air defense bases in the eastern countryside of Damascus and the southern countryside of Tartus.
Israel intensified its attacks on Syria in the recent months in an attempt to mount more pressure on Damascus and its allies, first and foremost Iran. These attacks are supposedly meant to push Iranian-affiliated forces out of the war-torn country as well as to prevent the delivery of advanced weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Us & ezraeel will loose everything in 1 or 2 years.. wait and see.
Yes maybe, but where are the S-300 and 400s shooting these scum down ?. If you step back, and just think – it makes no sense. Same as why the Russian air force does not bomb the s**t out of Idlib…but whilst sounding nuts, I am at the stage where I think it is all smoke and mirrors – the World being a stage.
Its a mystery for me why US bases in Syria is not destroyed. So I agree with your last comments.
After the 4-hour firefight with U.S soldiers in 2018, Russia is unlikely to antagonize the U.S again in Syria. It’s clear that Syrian players understand their limits well.
The last time they tried bombing Idlib (actually taking Idlib) it didn’t go well.
choose a target or few in Israel and decimate it as a lesson to the Israelis. Choose one that will HURT them financially and one to LAME them from some of their evildoings.
Won’t happen because israel survives on its “military might” if we hit them and they don’t hit back they’ll look weak and everyone will stop believing them.
Israel has little military might since Jews are pussies and hide behind their gentile dupes when it comes to fighting. When Israel engaged Hezbollah in Lebanon back in 2006, they ran like girls after the heroic Hezbollah fighters made them run to their Jewish mommies. So Jews do their diabolical best and then get their America lackey’s to back Islamic jihadi dupe fighters to go after Libya and Syria. No Jews are risked that way!
Then why are you afraid of retaliating against them despite the many deaths, humiliation, and destruction you suffered over the last decade and a half? It’s actually the other way round. If you are so confident of your 2006 victory, why are you always dodging the fight? Big mouthed cowards. You will be destroyed with or without your cowardice.
They cannot respond in a way that can defeat or damage hezbollah or Iran. For that , they will need to commit groundforces into Syrian territory and we all have seen how the cowardly IDF have never even commited GF into gaza since they got served in 2014 in Shuja’iyyah. Attacking Hezbollah in Syria or Lebanon will be suicidal. In 2006, the IDf committed 60000 groundforces for a Lebanese invasion. that Olmert had planned since February 2006 (yeah, dont believe the z10bullshit about the war being a response to the abduction of idf soldiers). That force was decimated on the South Lebanese border and never reached more than 5km into South Lebanon (Yest they were planning to destrpy the Hezb and march triumphantly to Beirut LoL). It is my opininion that aside from the resolution of various pockets of syrian takfiri areas and the US presence, the iranians are preparing an invasionary force and they are building caches in Lebanon and Syria. Whether israel strikes Iranian nuclear reactors or not, There will eventually be a military confrontation that will lead to an invasion of Israel by Iranian backed groundforces. Whether or not israel nukes Tehran, Beirut or damascus or all, they will never be able to counter that force – their groundforces are the weakest link in the IDf – in fact, they ONLY have air superiority – for now.
They won’t attack Iran directly because there’s an easier way. You bastards just made a civil war imminent in Iraq and Lebanon with your cowardly way of warfare. If you can’t fight, why pick a fight? Now the U.S is hell-bent on destroying the evil regime and they will use Iraq and Lebanon for that purpose. Hundreds of thousands of civilians will die and millions will suffer in Lebanon and Iraq all because you decided to infest their countries with terrorists who are too afraid to fight but want power. Every civilian or soldier that dies in Iraq and Lebanon in any future civil war, your country takes a huge chunk of the blame. If you want to fight, stop hiding behind militias and civilians. Do what they Taliban did.
It won’t happen because your history shows you are cowards and never won any major wars. You are all hot air and bluster and you won’t fight unless your enemy launches an all-out strike that you sense will destroy you whether you fight or not. That’s the only time you fight. Because you haven’t any place to hide. Fighting back becoming the only chance of survival. We’ll see what you do in Iraq. Because of you bastards, the U.S will destroy Iraq and Lebanon for the second time.

Much of the escalation of violence in this region can be attributed to NATO/US assets trying to “bait” Russia into this conflict.
Much of Middle Eastern instability comes from the cowards hiding behind terrorist militias (also cowardly) and civilians (who are actually the innocents bearing the brunt of the hardship).
why does russia sit by and allow the usa and turkey to occupy syria and israel to bomb it at will?
They’re busy!
Busy with tank biathlons and play acting World War one.
Busy defending their land, or at least, fighting what they perceive as a threat to the Russian homeland. You should also be fighting your wars in Syria and not expecting Russia to rescue you from Israel. You picked this fight. Don’t be deluded that any country will fight it for you. If you can’t fight them, submit and spare civilians the hardship.
Because that was the deal with Soleimani (Iran) and Putin. They get latakia and in turn, they bomb takfiri forces with their superior airforce. thats it. Iran and the Hezb will have to see to the rest.Syria shold not rely on S300/S400 . They should take up the Chinese offer and explore all options. Methinks syria is lying low with Iranian bavar 373, not to expose them until the real war breaks out
If Russians think Iran has even a grain of courage to face Israel and America, you are in for a nasty surprise. Iran will drag you into a fight and when things get hot, they’ll chicken out. These guys fear America like death. Forget the hot air and bluster. Historically, they’ve been cowards but mouthy.
Because Russia didn’t come to fight your wars. If you can pick a fight, then be ready to fight. You couldn’t even commit forces overtly when Assad, your supposed military ally, faced imminent defeat. You should be thanking Russia not asking them to do more than saving your doomed asses back in 2015.
Okay Takfiri whore!
How come we’re not hearing about this in America? Oh, that’s right. The Jews run the media in America and are in charge of misinforming the dumb gentiles.
The problem in USa most of the Christians believe that Jerusalem is the birth place of Jesus and the Jews are the chosen people. Unfortunately this is bullshit, Jesus was persecuted by the Jews and the hebrews don’t live in Israel and most of them in Israel are Khazar jews, the worst of the kind, worshipping the Talmud.For them the gentiles are sub-humans.
The mythological Abraham’s “descendants” kill each other after the faith developed into several religions with the same origin.
I’m fine with the idiots killing each other.
Wow, you seem really addicted to all that fairy tale religious bullshit. Every religion was invented by divisive men to control others and is effin’ irrelevant in 2022 FFS you tragic lame brain moron!
Jews run the media everywhere. They even advise the Chinese how to make movies.
Just jingle a few shekels around and toss them in the opposite direction, and you will distract the planes long enough to shoot them down.
The perfect Mullah strategy
Where is Putin??? O, injecting kids….
Mr Putin visits Israel yearly. Russian Jews where allowed to leave with there wealth, less tax.
You seriously want Putin to fight a war you cowards provoked?
Where are the Mullahs? Put already did enough. What has Iran done to the Israelis and Americans in Syria despite all the humiliating death and destruction to Iranians? Your government acts like a regime that knows it’s time is almost up.
The mythological Abraham’s “descendants” kill each other after the faith developed into several religions with the same origin.
I’m fine with the idiots killing each other.
Don’t want to be an americunt idiot…
La syrie doit attaquer cer etat
Downing a few Israeli F-34s and capturing one or two, whether they were shot down over Syrian territory or not would send a strong message.
F-35’s piece of shits
Nazis are in some time correct in ww2….
We of the rogue empire, the once was a Republic of USA, do not armaments, missiles, assassinations, murdering of civilians, the military adjunctives in Syria nor in Ukraine while people are suffering in Libya and in Somalia from the on slots of the rogue – empire. We people in the rogue empire need health, universal Medicare at age 18 not this depends waste of money for militarizing the chemtrails around the world with armaments free gifts…
Forse dico banalità ma quello che succede sui depositi di munizioni in Ucraina ed ora anche in Siria suggerirebbe di non accumulare troppe armi in un solo sito… quindi di rivedere tutta la logistica dei depositi di armi
Are the Russians sleeping, or good old friends from the pseude Semietes, Putin is amusing him self, but thats not what we wanth dear friend, do what you have to do !
