The Israeli Air Force has struck and destroyed a convoy of Hezbollah in the area of the Syrian town of Zabadani, near the country’s border with Lebanon, the Israeli media reported citing Syrian opposition sources.
The incident allegedly took place on on January 10 and resulted in killing of 16 Hezbollah members.
No photos or videos have been provided to confirm these claims. The Hezbollah-linked meida have not commented on the issue yet.
On January 9, the Syrian Defense Ministry said that its air defense forces had thwarted a missile attack of Israel’s army and air force in the Damascus countryside hitting a warplane and shooting down 3 missiles. MORE DETAILS HERE
The intensification of the Israeli military actions in Syria is likely linked to the recent developments in the province of Idlib where the Syrian Arab Army and its allies are pressuing the so-called opposition in the area of Abu al-Duhur.
