United with Israel

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) on Monday night carried out several strikes against military targets in Syria, including an attack that destroyed an important research facility.
Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that the army’s air defenses “confronted a missile aggression” on Al-Sfira in the Aleppo area in the north of the country.
The attack targeted “military depots,” SANA reported.
The report did not specify the number of casualties or damage caused by the strike, but stated that “verification is underway to evaluate the losses left by the aggression,” an admission that the attack was successful.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in Syria (SOHR) quoted its activists in the country who reported on a strike targeting branch 247 “defense factories” in Al-Sfira. The strikes resulted in the destruction of ammunition depots.
According to SOHR, 14 people, including Iranian and Iraqi nationals, were killed in the strikes.
The activities further reported on “three loud explosions” that were heard in the Al-Mayadeen desert in rural Deir ez-Zor, targeting positions of Iranian-led militia.
“No details have emerged yet on the casualties or extent of material damage,” the SOHR added.
Arabic media reported a large fire with a large number of casualties in the Israeli attack south of Aleppo.
A scientific research facility was probably destroyed. The center is used for the development and production of weapons, including long-range missiles, and has been bombed by Israel in the past.
Sixth Strike in Two Weeks
Israel has significantly stepped up its attacks against Iranian and Hezbollah targets in Syria in recent weeks. Monday night’s attack is the sixth attack in Syria in a two-week period, all against Iranian or Hezbollah targets related to the Iranian missile project in Syria.
While Israel has refrained from publicly commenting on the reports, Minister of Defense Naftali Bennett stated during an interview last Tuesday that the IDF was determined to drive the Iranians out of Syria.
“We have moved from blocking Iran’s entrenchment in Syria to forcing it out of there, and we will not stop. We will not allow more strategic threats to grow just across our borders without taking action,” he stated. “We will continue to take the fight to the enemy’s territory.”
Iran seeks to establish bases, with Syrian’s blessing, along Israel’s northern borders. Israel has long maintained that it will not allow Iran to establish a new threat on its borders.
Israel is also trying to prevent Iran from providing Hezbollah with advanced weaponry, specifically precision-guided missiles.
In general, Iran’s military build-up in Syria remains a red line for Israel. The IAF has carried out thousands of attacks to thwart Iranian entrenchment in the war-torn country.
以色列在两周内第六次袭击叙利亚，伊朗战机被消灭
叙利亚一个监测组织称，这次袭击在针对阿勒颇附近一个军事基地的行动中造成14人死亡，其中包括伊朗和伊拉克国民。

以色列空军周一晚对叙利亚境内的军事目标进行了数次打击，其中包括摧毁一个重要研究设施的袭击。
叙利亚官方的萨那通讯社报道说，军队的防空部队在该国北部阿勒颇地区“遭遇导弹侵略”。
萨那报道说，袭击目标是“军事基地”。
报告没有具体说明这次袭击造成的伤亡或损害人数，但称“正在进行核查，以评估侵略留下的损失”，承认这次袭击是成功的。
叙利亚人权观察组织（SOHR）引述了该组织在叙利亚的活动人士的话，他们报道了一次针对位于Al-Sfira的247家“国防工厂”分支机构的罢工。罢工导致弹药库被毁。
据苏赫尔说，包括伊朗和伊拉克国民在内的14人在这次袭击中丧生。
这些活动还报道了在代尔祖尔农村的迈亚迪恩沙漠听到的“三声巨响”，目标是伊朗领导的民兵阵地。
“目前还没有关于人员伤亡或物质损失程度的细节，”苏尔补充说。
阿拉伯媒体报道，以色列在阿勒颇以南发动袭击，发生大火，造成大量人员伤亡。
一个科研设施可能被摧毁了。该中心用于研发和生产武器，包括远程导弹，过去曾遭到以色列轰炸。
两周内第六次罢工
近几周来，以色列显著加强了对叙利亚境内伊朗和真主党目标的袭击。星期一晚上的袭击是叙利亚两周内第六次袭击，袭击对象都是伊朗或真主党在叙利亚的导弹项目有关的目标。
以色列国防部长纳夫塔利·贝内特（Naftali Bennett）上周二在接受采访时表示，以色列国防军决心将伊朗人赶出叙利亚，但以色列没有公开评论这些报道。
“我们已经从封锁伊朗在叙利亚的据点，转向迫使它离开那里，我们不会停止。我们不会允许更多的战略威胁在没有采取行动的情况下跨越我们的国界而增长。“我们将继续把战斗带到敌人的领土上去。”
伊朗寻求在叙利亚的支持下，在以色列北部边境建立基地。以色列长期以来一直坚称，它不会允许伊朗在其边界上建立新的威胁。
以色列还试图阻止伊朗向真主党提供先进武器，特别是精确制导导弹。
总的来说，伊朗在叙利亚的军事集结仍是以色列的一条红线。国际宇航联合会发动了数千次袭击，以挫败伊朗在这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家的据点。
