(Worthy News) – Reports indicate that on Thursday, airstrikes believed to be conducted by Israel targeted a location near Damascus, targeting a site used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, followed by attacks near Aleppo aimed at demolishing sites connected to the defense industry.
Merely two hours prior to the airstrike, leaders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah, the Syrian Army, and the Iran-supported Popular Mobilization Forces convened at the building that was later targeted near Damascus, as reported by the Syrian Capital Voice news outlet.
Sky News Arabia reported, based on information from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, that an airstrike targeting a facility in the Sayyida Zeinab district, approximately six miles south of Damascus, resulted in the death of “several” Syrians affiliated with Hezbollah. Additionally, the attack wounded five individuals.
The Sayyida Zeinab region near the capital is recognized as a stronghold for Iranian-backed militias and has been the focal point of numerous suspected Israeli airstrikes since the onset of the conflict. These strikes have reportedly resulted in the targeting and elimination of several IRGC officers on multiple occasions.
These are just few of series of alleged Israeli airstrikes in Syria over the past week. Late Monday night, one Syrian soldier was killed in alleged Israeli airstrikes targeting Aleppo International Airport in northern Syria, with the strikes causing heavy damage and shutting down the airport.
These airstrikes come less than a week after alleged Israeli airstrikes targeted the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) in Masyaf, southwest of Aleppo, which reportedly resulted in injuries to two civilians and caused material damage. This event also led to a number of fires in the area.
Israel rarely acknowledges conducting strikes in Syria, yet Israeli officials have consistently emphasized that the IDF will take all necessary actions to thwart Iran’s attempts to target Israel through its proxies
