The death toll from the overnight strikes in Syria has risen to 22. Among them, four were killed in the Syrian army, the rest were activists who worked with Iran. It has not yet been determined whether they are members of the Syrian Hezbollah. This was reported by the Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov”.
Several dozen more people were injured, the exact number is still unknown. Among the dead are four Syrian army soldiers, five civilians, and the rest are activists who work with Iran. It is unclear whether they are Syrian volunteers.
Syrian opposition sources report that today’s Israeli attacks in the Mezaifa area targeted the A-Zawiya center, the warehouses of the Institute for Scientific Research and the institute complex itself.
Earlier, “Cursor” reported that on the night of September 9, Israel struck targets in Syria. The media reported that the strikes were carried out on a certain center associated with the IRGC. Later it became known that the IDF struck the outskirts of the city of Masyaf and hit a chemical weapons production center.
The Mezaif Research Center is considered part of the broader Syrian Scientific Research Center (SSRC), which is responsible for developing strategic weapons in Syria, including ballistic missiles and chemical weapons.
In response to the attack, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said that Israel’s overnight strikes on Hama could escalate tensions in the region with unpredictable consequences. The ministry noted that Israel’s actions were a provocation that could destabilize the situation in the Middle East.
