Al Manar: Israel targeted arms depot in Syria

israel strikes syria 0513-2Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV reported that the Israeli raid at dawn Sunday May 5, 2013 did not target the Jamraya military research center as stated by the government owned Syrian Arab news Agency SANA , but (the raid) targeted an ammunition depot center that supplies the Syrian army.

According to Al Mannar its security sources confirmed that the Israeli warplanes targeted three Syrian military sites:
– military barracks
– ammunition depots
– air defense centers

If true, it would be the second Israeli airstrike in Syria in two days and the third this year.

According to an earlier report by the New York Times the strike was aimed at a shipment of advanced surface-to-surface missiles from Iran that was intended for Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran and Hezbollah have both backed President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war, now in its third year. But as fighting in Syria escalates, they also have a powerful interest in expediting the delivery of advanced weapons to Hezbollah in case Mr. Assad loses his grip on power and Syria ceases to be an effective channel for funneling weapons from Iran, according to the NY times report.

    Wow … piling up the ‘Israel stories’ here for sure … and all about only one thing. I was hoping we’d get back to food supplies for the average Lebanese. If the farmers can’t sell to higher bidders over the imaginary borders, why have prices gone up?? Should have gone down, if ‘supply&demand’ is followed.

    If this was true, (you cant rely on people who use taqiya) it proves moreso israel and and friends of syria relationship. If the so called resistance group was worried about the security of the lebanese living in syria and were real friends you would think they would concider this an attack on security. But no reaction as of yet like they got them in the first place russia and iran can and will supply them. While the short end of the stick is with the rebels who could have would have seized these weapons, while ofcourse the lip service will go on about supplying rebels with artillery still is in progress.

    Hopefully, their aim(and intelligence) is better than most others in the ME.
