Israel Strikes 'Hizbullah' Arms Depot near Damascus Airport
2018-06-27
[AnNahar] Syrian state media said early Tuesday that two Israeli missiles struck near Damascus International Airport, without adding any details.

In a report in the early hours of Tuesday, Syria's state news agency said "two Israeli missiles came down near Damascus international airport".

The head of monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, also told AFP that "the Israeli missiles hit arms depots for Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
 near the airport".

He said the air strike took place at 1:00 am local time "without causing huge kabooms" even though they hit the weapons stores.

The observatory added that the Syrian air defence "failed to intercept the missiles".
The Jerusalem Post adds:
Unconfirmed local reports stated that missiles also targeted an Iranian cargo plane that had been unloading at the airport.

#7  The truth gorb, is that the research team aimed for a 25 year old Brigitte Bardot. But, as you know, things don't always work out as planned.
