Today, Syrian Air Force airplane transported cargo from Tehran airport to T-4 airport. Then the plane took off for Damascus. At the same time, at noon, the Israeli Aviation Authority released an update prohibiting civilian aircraft from flying over the Golan Heights at more than 5,000 feet altitude. The guideline is valid until the end of the month.

The Israeli attack in Damascus comes in parallel with the IDF attacks in the Gaza Strip, following the rocket fire at Israeli territory. During the assassination of a senior Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, Baha Abu al-Atta, reported
Syria on attack against senior Islamic Jihad official in Damascus. “The house of a leader in the Jihad Akram al-Ajuri movement was attacked, as a result of the attack, his son Mu’ad was killed, another person and another 10 were injured,” Syrian news agency Sana reported at the time.

About a week and a half ago she reported
Syria for assault in Damascus, which it attributed to Israel. The Syrian Monitoring Center for Human Rights, an opposition organization based in the United Kingdom and reportedly credible, claimed that those killed in the attack included three soldiers in the Syrian army, including two officers, and four other Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers.

The surveillance center reported that the target of the attack was Iranian weapons warehouses around the Syrian capital’s airport. The center noted that the attack took place after a plane landed there, but it is unclear whether the same aircraft came from Iran or another region in Syria. Saudi Arabia’s al-Hadith network said it had also hit a target in the al-Kiswa area, which, like Damascus Airport, had also been attacked in the past.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to comment on the same attack: “Don’t know what happened at night, maybe it was the Belgian Air Force.” However, he said: “Our policy is to prevent Iran’s establishment in Syria.”
