The Syrian regime has announced that Israel bombed a sector near Damascus. Human Rights Watch said 9 pro-regime soldiers died.

The attack came shortly after US President Donald Trump announced the country backing out of the nuclear deal signed with Iran.

Israeli missiles targeted a weapons warehouse that belonged to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The Iranian regime has been standing with the regime since 2011 when the Syrian civil war started.

According to the official statement by the Syrian regime, there are no casualties, but London-based Syria Human Rights Watch organization announced that 9 pro-regime soldiers have lost their lives.

Before the attack, Syrian airforce command had announced that they intercepted 2 Israeli missiles.

Syrian state television has broadcast footage that shows the flames caused by the destruction of the missiles.

Israel didn’t comment on these pieces of information from Syria. The Tel Aviv administration claimed that Iran could carry out a potential attack and put their forces on the part of Golan under their invasion on alert.

This isn’t the first time Israel is targeting this sector to the southwest of Damascus. In December, several military positions had been bombed including a weapons warehouse.

On April 9, a missile attack had been carried out against the T-4 military base in the Homs region and at least 14 fighters (including 7 Iranian soldiers) had lost their lives. The same base had been targeted by Israel in February as well.

Israeli Minister of Defense Avigdor Lieberman had issued a statement on April 26 and threatened that they would target Iran’s attempts at settling military forces in Syria, starting with the Golan region that shares a border with Israel. 3 days after this statement, at least 26 fighters (most of them Iranians) had been killed in missile attacks against Syria.
