The Israeli attacks on Syria... Destroyed 90% of the Iranian infrastructure

ARK News… The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Israeli bombing that targeted Syrian territory on Friday night targeted a military airport in the western countryside of Damascus, radar, and an air defense system. Meanwhile, Israeli officials revealed the destruction of 90 percent of Iran's military infrastructure in Syria.

The deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria, Oleg Egorov, on Saturday night said that the Israeli Air Force's strikes destroyed the runway of the Dimas military airport, west of the capital, Damascus, and a ULC-6M military radar belonging to an air defense system, stressing that there were no casualties, due to the bombing.

Israeli warplanes, on Friday, bombed from over the occupied Syrian Golan the Air Defense Brigade in the village of Ain Radwan in the city of Qatana in the western Damascus countryside, and a military facility in the neighboring village of Kafr Qaq, in addition to the vicinity of Damascus International Airport, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Meanwhile, the Syrian regime news agency, SANA, quoted a military source in the regime forces as saying that "the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with rockets from the northeastern direction of Lake Tiberius, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus," explaining that our air defense confronted the aggression's missiles. Most of them were shot down, and the losses were limited to material."

Soleimani's plan failed
In this context, Israeli officials revealed that "90 percent of Iran's military infrastructure in Syria has been destroyed," as well as "thwarting the Lebanese Hezbollah's attempts to establish its presence" there.

The Jerusalem Post newspaper, on Sunday, quoted officials as saying that Israel has managed in recent years to “limit Iran’s ability to transfer weapons to Syria, and prevent it from establishing a base there alongside forces loyal to it, and manufacturing weapons inside.”

The officials emphasized that the Israeli army "has caused severe damage to the Iranian smuggling routes by land, sea, and air to Syria", and has frustrated the ability of the Syrian regime to produce weapons and ammunition since the Iranians and Hezbollah used those factories that were destroyed by Israeli bombing.

According to the newspaper, the plan of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by an American drone at the beginning of January 2020, "failed due to the Israeli air force's continued bombing of Syria," stressing that despite the tension in the relationship between Russia and Israel, the mechanism preventing clashes between them in Syria, "is still business as usual."

The newspaper's sources pointed out that the periods that pass without Israeli attacks on Syria, "are the result of an Iranian decision to stop smuggling weapons to Syria in an attempt to find a new way to deceive Israel."

The Israeli attacks on Syria on Friday came more than a month after their cessation, and the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth quoted Israeli security sources as confirming that “there has been no change in the Israeli approach in Syria,” and that the Russian side “did not exert pressure to stop the attacks, coordination with Moscow in Syria is still working as usual.
