SOHR activists have revealed new details about the recent Israeli attack that hit Syrian territory on October 21.
According to SOHR sources, military logistics and equipment used to assemble Iranian-made drones in Dimas military airport area in western Rif dimashq were destroyed after being directly targeted by Israeli missiles. A radar and airstrip were also targeted at the airport. However, no casualties have been reported so far.
In January 2022, shipments of weapons, ammunition, and parts to manufacture drones had arrived at Dimas military airport in the western countryside of Damascus at T4 airport in Homs countryside, SOHR reliable sources reported.
It is worth noting that Iran and its backed militias almost completely controlled Dimas military airport during the recent period.
Moreover, Hezbollah members were conducting drilling operations in and around the airport to store strategic weapons brought by Iran to the area close to the Syrian-Lebanese border. Syrian Observatory sources said experts from Iran’s “Revolutionary Guard” and some experts from Lebanon’s Hezbollah who have trained in Iran were seen in Dimas airport.
On February 9, Israeli forces carried out two rounds of attacks in Syrian territory in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The first round was carried out by fighter jets flying over Lebanon, where the Israeli airstrikes targeted positions on the old highway between Damascus and Beirut in Rif Dimashq and the outskirts of Jadidat Al-Shibani in Wadi Baradi where warehouses and military positions of Iranian-backed militias are located. Meanwhile, regime air-defences attempted to intercept the Israeli airstrikes, shooting down some missiles. The second round of Israeli attacks, which was carried out with rockets fired from the occupied Syrian Golan, targeted regime air-defence batteries in the same area, killing a regime first lieutenant. It is worth noting that shrapnel of a missile fired by regime air-defences caused material damage to civilian properties in a neighbourhood Qudsiyya area.
Earlier, Israeli missiles hit the area of Damascus International Airport, and an area near Damascus, where an air defence battery and equipment of the regime’s air force were targeted there.
The article does not make any claims these drones were used by Russia.
Iran back forces and Hezbollah are using drones in Syria and to target Israel.

Why would they make such claims?
I think it’s a safe bet Russia was buying drones from this facility. And now they aren’t!
Also, it would not surprise me if the Israelis are taking credit for a US/NATO operation.
What a coincidence!!!
Most of Hezbollah’s offensive stuff is sourced from Iran. They do use some American made military equipment, mostly rifles and a few other bits and pieces
Rubbish. Israel does this routinely
That’s true - very routine, unfortunately
Because Israel’s enemies are constantly deploying / grouping weapons for war against Israel.
Oh I agree. But in this case the target is a drone factory and the US is more concerned about those drowns than Israel would be. And it’s not like Biden doesn’t have us involved in Syria anyway.
We’ve long known that the Persians squirrel weaponry into Syria using commercial aircraft. They don’t dare move it around on the ground either to Syria or within. So it makes sense that most of it is stashed around the Damascus airport. What I’ve never quite gotten is why the Israelis allow Damascus to have a heavy airfield? They took out Gaza’s as soon as the muzzies started using it to shoot from. Notice how Basher never complains?
Why would the U.S be concerned about drones more than Israel, which is a small country bordering the source of some very problematic ‘warfare of the future’ weaponry
Interesting point. I don’t know the answer either. Maybe to avoid escalation. Who knows
smells like bs
Notice how Israel never attacks ISIS. ... odd.
Bkmk
Whenever I read of conflict between Israel and Russia, I am reminded of the verse speaking of a hook in the jaw of Russia.
I know of the verse in Ezekiel 38:4, but it seems like there is another one as well. Perhaps in Revelation.
You’ve missed the news lately because Iranian made drones have been used in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
I know that. But why are Iranian drones of greater concern to the U.S than Israel. Iran doesn’t pose an existential threat to the U.S as it does to Israel, partic of Biden regime paves the nuclear bomb road for them. Let’s just say, the drones are of equal concern to both the U.S and Israel and leave it at that
Isreal should think long and hard about taking sides against Russia.
That’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head
