Israeli airstrikes target regime base in Daraa: Monitor
[Rudaw] Suspected Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s targeted warehouses belonging to the Syrian regime in the countryside of Daraa province, southwest of the country, a war monitor reported on Tuesday.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that the attacks were launched after midnight, targeting the town of Mahajjah. The warehouses stored weapons and ammunition belonging to pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
militias, SOHR added.

The strikes led to the destruction of the weapons, said the monitor with no reports of casualties.

The attack comes a week after airstrikes, attributed to Israel, hit the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, killing at least seven people, including two generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Monday visited the consular building of his country's embassy in Damascus, and vowed that Israel will be "punished" for the deadly attack.

Israel has yet to comment on the attack on the embassy, while the Pentagon has denied any involvement.

Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on regime-controlled areas of Syria throughout its nearly 13-year civil war, often claiming to strike pro-Iran militias such as Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s Hezbollah, which supports the Syrian army.

Israel has intensified its strikes on Syria since October 7. It has attacked Syrian territory at least 34 times since the start of the year, killing at least 141 people and wounding over 60 others, according to SOHR.

Update from the Times of Israel at 10:40 a.m. ET:
Israel says it hit Syrian army post being used by Hezbollah

The IDF says it carried out a strike against a Syrian Army position in southern Syria, near Israel’s border, which was identified as being used by Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

The IDF says it has intelligence indicating Hezbollah operatives used the Syrian Army site.

“The IDF holds the Syrian regime accountable for all activities which take place within its territory and will not allow for any attempted actions which could lead to the entrenchment of Hezbollah on the Syrian front,” the military says in a statement.

Meanwhile, strikes were also carried out against Hezbollah observation posts and other infrastructure in southern Lebanon in the past few hours, the IDF says.

Areas near Dhayra and Tayr Harfa in southern Lebanon were also shelled with artillery to “remove threats,” according to the military.

#2 ^ Israeli media reported that Haniyeh had later confirmed that three of his sons and three of his grandchildren had been killed in the strike.

"All of Gaza's citizens paid a price with the blood of their children, including me," he was cited as saying.

Haniyeh, the chairman of Hamas's Political Bureau, lives in Qatar, alongside other members of Hamas's political leadership.
