Syrian rebels claim IAF destroyed S-300 battery near Homs
2013-07-10
The Free Syrian Army claimed Monday that the Israel Air Force had destroyed a warehouse holding Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missiles east of the city of Homs in western Syria. The rebels' claim has not been corroborated by any other independent source.

In a Facebook post titled "The new Israeli strike," the rebels alleged that "the brave Syrian regime has conceded that a new Israeli strike targeted a warehouse containing Russian S-300 missiles and launchers. The facility was located in the al-Qassia camp, near the town of al-Hafa, east of Homs."

The post further insinuated that the attack was meant to stop the Free Syrian Army from seizing the advanced weapons system.
Good idea to whack the S-300s just because, but keeping them from al-Nusra is double-plus good...
Another report, by Syria's al-Haqiqa news website, claimed that "a senior Israeli official" confirmed that the explosion that destroyed an arms depot in the port city of Latakia last week was not the work of al-Qaida, as the state-run Syrian media reported, but yet another Israeli attack.
Bwha-ha-ha...
According to the report, the explosion destroyed a Syrian navy weapons depository holding Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles. The website quoted the official as allegedly saying he could "neither confirm nor deny," whether the Israeli military was responsible for the attack.

#2  So which was it? Anti-air or anti-ship missiles? Or are we looking at two separate strikes?
