Israel launched more airstrikes in Syria on Sunday morning, wounding at least three Syrian soldiers. According to the Syrian news agency SANA, missiles were launched at targets in the western provinces of Tartus and Hama, two regions that were hit by the devastating February 6 earthquake.
“At around 7:15am (04:15 GMT), the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack, firing missiles from the direction of north Lebanon with targets in the Tartus and Hama countryside,” SANA reported, according to Al Jazeera.
“The attack wounded three soldiers and caused some material losses,” SANA said. The report did not specify what facilities were targeted and said some missiles were intercepted by air defense systems.
On Friday, Syrian officials announced the Aleppo airport reopened after being out of service for days due to an Israeli airstrike. Aleppo was severely damaged by the earthquake, and the Israeli strike temporarily halted aid flights to the city, drawing condemnation from a UN official.
El-Mostafa Benlamlih, the UN’s resident coordinator for Syria, said the strike and the closure of the airport impeded “humanitarian access and could have drastic humanitarian consequences for millions of people who have been affected by the earthquake.”
Israel rarely takes credit for individual operations in Syria and hasn’t commented on the latest airstrikes. When Israeli officials do discuss their operations in Syria, they claim the strikes are against Iran, but they often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure.
Israel is giving new meaning to the word ‘aggression’.
More like a new meaning to the word desperation.
Desperation is the Correct Word because Israel knows after Iran-Saudis normalization, Iran’s influence in the region would be substantially increased…!
Donna, IsraHell is giving new meaning to the phrase “I can wreak havoc wherever/whenever I want because the United Snakes has got my back!”
I’m racking my brains to come up with a more evil institution than IsraHell and just can’t do it.
Lyndon Johnson aphorism applies here. Israel has DC’s pecker in their pocket.
there is not even any point to israeli continuous attacks on syria
Israelis are the US proxy war force in west Asia. The paper tiger dollar US has their back just like the Ukrainians and Taiwanese.
Funny thing, I was under the impression that conducting military strikes in a neighboring country runs counter to professed US beliefs.
Guess not, huh.
