Syria: Israel attacked Damascus area (archive)
The director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, told Arab media that "Israel attacked these areas in order to cut off the road from Tehran to Beirut, which is considered a supply line for the pro-Iranian militias." According to him, the operation focused on sites of the pro-Iranian militias, as well as a radar station.
A source in Assad's army said overnight (Monday-Tuesday) that the attack took place at around 23:50 P.M. According to reports in the Syrian opposition, four Syrian soldiers were also wounded in the attack in a bombing aimed at the radar station on Mount Rabash in the area. It was also reported that the station itself belonged to Iranian militias and was destroyed.
The director of the Syrian center also referred to reports earlier this week of explosions in the Damascus area. He claimed it was an "Israeli intelligence operation." At the time, the center reported that the building where the explosions took place belonged to Assad's army and the Revolutionary Guards, during which two civilians with non-Syrian citizenship were killed.
In addition, according to the Syrian center, three sites of the pro-Iranian militias were attacked in the area of Al-Hamida, which belongs to the city of Bukamal, which is close to the Syrian border. Among other things, it was reported that the bridge leading to the village of Al-Hari and the military gate between Syria and Iraq were bombed.
