Details are emerging on Israel’s overnight missile strikes against Syria’s north. The strikes reportedly killed five people, two Syrians and three non-Syrians, and destroyed a military base near Aleppo.
Syrian state media confirmed the attacks, and said that their defense systems intercepted most of the incoming missiles. They added that overall damage done in the strikes is still being assessed.
The Syrian military said the missiles were aimed at several locations in the area. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed those included a weapons depot which they accused of being “pro-Iranian.”
This area near Aleppo is along the frontier between Syrian government territory and an enclave occupied by Turkish-backed rebels. Though Israel attacks Syrian military sites regularly, it is unusual for them to do so this far north.
As is almost always the case, the Israeli military refused to comment on the attack, saying that they do not address military strikes which were initially reported in foreign media.
“The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed those included a weapons depot which they accused of being ‘pro-Iranian.’” Why do you have to question the propaganda? All you gotta do is say yes and amen. (sarcasm)
Like I said it is always about Iran.
Note that Northern Syria is on the side of that country away from Israel.

What does that(pro-Iranian)even mean? That it is Iranian funded? Run by Iranian militias? The weapons are Iranian made? Or is an inanimate object, the depot itself, being accused of being pro-Iranian? 🙂 It’s become so automatic that they don’t even have to explain themselves anymore. The scourge of the world, Iran, did it.
