Israeli Regime warplanes launch 3 attacks on Syrian army positions

Israeli Regime warplanes launch 3 attacks on Syrian army positions

Alwaght-According to reports, the Zionist army warplanes carried out three overnight raids on the Syrian army positions hours after the regime forces fired artillery rounds into the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

Tel Aviv claimed that the attacks were carried out in response to several rocket attacks that earlier targeted the occupied-Palestenian part of the territory.

Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said Tuesday that the regime forces had attacked some positions inside the Syrian territory, which were allegedly used earlier in the day to target some areas in the occupied part of Golan.

The Zionist military spokesman mentioned that two rockets landed in the settlement of Maron Golan and Mount Hermon, without causing damage or injuries.

Israeli regime media said earlier on Tuesday that the military had evacuated a sport resort close to the Syrian border, while sirens also sounded in several towns and villages in the area.

It is worth noting that the Zionist warplanes flew heavily over the occupied Golan Heights and that 5 alarm sirens were launched in the area.

The incident came days after an Israeli helicopter fired rockets on a Hezbollah convoy in the Golan Heights town of Qunaitra on January 17, killing six members of the Lebanese resistance group and an Iranian commander.

The Syrian Golan Heights have been under the Zionist-Israeli occupation since the 1960s. The Tel Aviv regime captured the Syrian territory during the Six-Day War of 1967 and annexed the region in 1981.

The Zionist entity in deep fear

The January 17 attack in Quneitra has sparked fears within the Zionist entity of Hezbollah’s possible retaliation.

Israeli regime media have reported over the past days that the regime is closely monitoring the movements close to the Lebanese border and in the occupied Golan Heights.

The Israeli regime military has installed concrete blocks on Lebanon’s border, while the roads near the area are mostly closed.

The Israeli regime air force is also on high alert and the batteries of the so-called Iron Dome missile system have already been stationed in the north of the occupied territories.

Hezbollah and Iran have vowed that their response to the attack would be extremely painful.

Senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami said last week that Israel should brace for “a special retaliation” in response for the attack in Golan Heights.

IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari also warned Israel on January 20 that the Zionist entity “should await annihilating thunderbolts.”

On Sunday, Israeli regime Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman traveled to Russia, where he expressed Tel Aviv’s deep concerns about any potential retaliation by Hezbollah and Iran.

Once again the Zionist regime proves the joke mentioned by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad previously this week to be a reality, where he said," … some in Syria joke, 'How can you say that al-Qaeda doesn’t have an air force? They have the Israeli air force'."

A foolish move

On Tuesday, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem once again slammed the January 17 assault against the Syrian soil, adding that the regime once again failed to undermine the Lebanese resistance group through the deadly air raid.

Qassem described the recent attack as a “step back” and a “foolish move,” saying the new act of aggression proved the Tel Aviv regime is cooperating with the Takfiri elements operating against the Syrian government.
