Warmongering Israel launch strike near Syrian airport without concern for

A few unconfirmed reports said that the target of the Israeli air strike was an arms shipment for Lebanon-based Islamic militia Hezbollah, according to i24news.

The Damascus airport air strike would be the second Israeli attack on Syrian soil since Russian Federation launched an anti-ISIS offensive in the war-torn country, according to the Jerusalem Post. The opposition activist added that the outposts belonged to Hezbollah.

As Wednesday’s reported strikes inside Syria would have taken place, Netanyahu was again out of the country, this time in Washington where he met on Wednesday with United States Secretary of State John Kerry, following his meeting Monday with President Barack Obama. They point to the fact that the strikes targeted Hezbollah weapons caches near the global Airport in Damascus, which Iran uses for weapon deliveries to Hezbollah. A week ago, the Israeli air force struck two Hezbollah depots in the Qalamoun Mountains in western Syria within twenty-four hours.

Hezbollah’s numbers in Syria are estimated at 6,000, primarily concentrated in Damascus and Homs. A few of them are Iranian guided missiles that can reach Eilat, Israel’s most southern city at the Red Sea.

Issacharoff added that Hezbollah assembled a fleet of drones that can be used for intelligence gathering and combat. Despite the concern over Hezbollah’s improved capabilities, Issacharoff wrote that the terror group is reportedly “not interested in a confrontation” at this time. Israel has repeatedly made clear that it will not allow Hezbollah and Iran to take control over the border area.

A reported Damascus air port airstrike comes two week after the IAF attacked Hezbollah-linked targets in Syria.

In September, Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanhayu made a surprise visit to Mosow – accompanied by top Israel defense officials – to discuss how to avoid such a conflict and to “ensure there will not be any misunderstandings between our forces”, the Israeli leader said.

“Hezbollah is at the forefront and in a real position of influence over the region”, he said.
