For the third time in just a over a week, Israel carried out a drone strike inside Syria today. The strike targeted a truck and car believed to belong to Hezbollah traveling near the city of Qusayr, in Homs Province.
The vehicles were said to be en route to al-Dabaa military airport, and both were set on fire as a result of the attack. Two Hezbollah members were reported killed, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Several other unidentified people were also reported to have been wounded.
Qusayr is seen as a hotbed of Hezbollah activity in Syria. It lies about 22 miles south of Homs and overlooks the border into Lebanon, which is 9 miles to the southwest.
On May 20, Israel carried out strikes against Qusayr, killing at least six people who were described as pro-Iranian fighters. The Syrian Observatory reported eight were killed, including five from Lebanon.
Today’s attack marked the 41st Israeli attack on Syrian territory so far in 2024. Such strikes typically go after either Hezbollah or Iranian targets, although at times they’ve attacked what are plainly Syrian military targets.
Strikes against Hezbollah more commonly take place in Lebanon, either targeting sites in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border or in the east in the Bekaa Valley, near the Syrian border crossing.
Israel is asking for a well deserved ass kicking and the US needs to stop funding this sh-t!
Israel is hitting everyone in the area, how many more countries do they want to go after?………………………..?………………………..?……………………?
Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah had a few words for Israel in his Friday speech, warning Israel to expect “surprises” while noting Israel wasn’t achieving it’s goals. “The enemy was unable to achieve any of its goals, and this was acknowledged by the head of the entity’s National Security Council (Tzachi Hanegbi),” Nasrallah said in his televised speech.
The Hezbollah leader also commented on 3 EU states recognizing the Palestinian state last week, “The recognition of the Palestinian state by a number of European countries is a great loss for the occupation,” adding it “is considered one of the results of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle,” referring to to Hamas’ October 7, 2023 operation.
Combined with today’s Hamas missile strikes at Tel Aviv from eastern Rafah, an area the IDF was supposed to have cleared, and the IDF soldiers Hamas lured into a tunnel to kill and caputure – it’s been a bad couple of days for the Zionists.
Wow, I forgot the ICC warrants, make that a Bad Week.
