(Worthy News) – Syria’s Defense Ministry confirmed that Israeli missile strikes allegedly hit military installations outside of Damascus. The ministry noted that while several military sites were hit, Syrian air defenses managed to intercept a number of the incoming missiles. According to regional intelligence and Syrian sources, these attacks represent an escalation in strikes targeting Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization.
Two Syrian military insiders knowledgeable about the strikes told the Reuters News Agency that Israel attacked a Hezbollah ammunition storage facility in the vicinity of Yabroud, located in the Qalamoun Mountains to the northeast of Damascus.
Foreign media received reports from eyewitnesses who observed secondary explosions after the strikes, suggesting that substantial quantities of ammunition were present.
This marked the second attack in two days on the same mountain range that stretches from Syria into Lebanon, a region where Hezbollah has established several vital supply routes.
Last week, reports emerged that Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, allegedly asked for additional military assistance from Qaani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force. This request was said to include short and medium-range ballistic missiles to Lebanon, along with drones and Russian-manufactured surveillance and communication equipment, all in anticipation of a looming war with Israel.
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.
