Yesterday several Syrian government military facilities were struck by what appear to have been missiles. The BBC reports:
The Syrian military said facilities in Hama and Aleppo provinces were struck.
It did not immediately report any casualties. But a UK-based monitoring group said 26 pro-government fighters were killed, most of them Iranians.
It is not known who was behind the attacks. Western nations and Israel have previously hit sites in Syria.
Earlier this month, the US, UK and France bombed three facilities they said were associated with the Syrian government’s alleged chemical weapons programme.
Israel is meanwhile alleged to have hit an airbase in Homs province reportedly serving as an Iranian drone command centre and containing an advanced Iranian air defence system.
Seven Iranian soldiers were among 14 military personnel killed in that attack.
It is widely suspected that Israel is behind the strikes. Should Israel become more actively involved in the campaign against the Syrian government the consequences could be quite serious.
