Tel Aviv: The Israeli strikes against Iran related targets in Syria are based on real time intelligence obtained by different sensors. Based on this data the Israeli air force in recent months attacked shipments of Iranian weapons that have arrived to Syria on their way to the Hezbollah terror organization, immediately after they were off loaded in Syria.
Iran International website, operated from London by the opposition to the Iranian regime has obtained information about the specific targets of the latest Israeli air strike on Tehran-linked targets in Syria.
Israel carried out airstrikes on Syria’s Damascus International airport and other positions south of the capital on late Friday and early Saturday, September 16 and 17, targeting what is called ‘Unit 2250’ – a special Iranian logistics institution run by Tehran’s Revolutionary Guard.
“Established as a subset of Unit 2000, the outfit is headquartered in Damascus with many offices across Syria such as the suburbs of the capital as well as Latakia, Hama, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor,” mentions the website.
According to the website, the unit is in charge of receiving incoming equipment, weapons and personnel from Iran as well as supporting the Iran-backed Lebanese forces in the country. It is also tasked with escorting and hosting senior Iranian officials and their families upon arrival in Syria, which are usually carried out in coordination with senior Syrian authorities.
In the recent attack the warehouses, parking lots and even the main office were targeted by Israeli strikes. “The aggression led to the death of five soldiers and some material damage,” Syria’s official news agency SANA quoted a military source as saying.
