Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday rarely addressed attacks attributed to Israel in Syria, saying that Israel had failed in its war in Syria and that Defense Minister Bennett was lying to the public when he claimed that Iran had withdrawn from the country.
Nasrallah said this in a special speech to mark the seventh anniversary of the death of the organization's senior official, Mustafa Baader a-Din, who was killed in 2016 in a bombing near Damascus International Airport. "The Israeli-American Saudi project to cause Syria to abandon failed Golan Heights," Nasrallah announced in his speech.
"The Israeli war minister is lying to his supporters and to the world when he talks about victories in Syria, when it comes to fictional victories. Who have lost. "
"The Israelis are attacking anything related to missile production in Syria because of the strength of these weapons among the resistance forces. The Israelis see Syria as a future threat and are concerned about the presence of Iran and the resistance forces there. Zionists are terrified of the new situation remaining in the country," Nasrallah added.
New evidence of Iranian armament in Syria
Meanwhile, the US Fox Network has uncovered satellite imagery taken by international intelligence company Imagesat international indicating that Iran is building a series of weapons storage bunkers in southeastern Syria, near the Iraqi border.
According to the photos, Revolutionary Guards bulldozers build the underground structures at the base of "Imam Ali," a large base of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards near the Iraqi border and the town of Bochmal. The photos show bulldozers alongside elongated excavation sites, which the company estimates can contain medium-range missiles.
The company also claims that the success of the Revolutionary Forces, despite several air strikes on the base, some of which occurred just weeks before construction began, did not abandon the idea of making the base part of its combat system in Syria.
