Israel attacks military locations in Southern Syria

According to Syrian state media on Wednesday, which cited a military source, Israel launched an aerial attack on military locations in southern Syria, resulting in some material losses.

The source, which state media cited, claimed that missiles launched over Lebanon’s Baalbek region had struck multiple targets, but it did not name them.

Israel has been attacking targets in Syria that it claims are connected to Iran for years where Tehran started helping President Bashar al-Assad in the civil war that broke out in 2011.

Two Syrian military defectors familiar with the situation believe the strikes targeted a radar station and an air defence base of the Syrian army in Tel Qulaib and Tel Maseeh in the Sweida province in southwest Syria.

Residents in the vicinity of Shahba, in the province of Sweida, reported hearing ambulances racing to the scene and seeing red flames from a distance.

Regarding reports of an Israeli strike in Syria, the Israeli military remained silent.

According to Western intelligence sources, the elite Syrian army unit known as the Fourth Division, which is pro-Iranian, along with Iranian militias based in the south are thought to be involved in a billion dollar drug trade that crosses the border into Jordan.
