The Israeli military, media and intelligence-linked firms continue their campaign to confince the audience in the growing military presence of Iran and Hezbollah in Syria.
On March 13, the Israeli Defense Forces claimed that they had uncovered an alleged Hezbollah network in the Golan Heights. On the same day, Israel’s ImageSat International released satellite images, which show an alleged Iranian missile compound in Syria. The missiles manufacturing site is reportedly located in Safita.
Regardless of real facts besides these claims, this series of reports looks as a coordinated media campaign. According to experts, its main goal is to justify further Israeli military actions against supposed Iranian targets in Syria and to continue the militarization of the occupied Golan Heights.
