Infighting, or Israeli F-35s bombing the place for the Nth time? Hezbollah or another group of Iranian proxies? No doubt it will be revealed later today. [Jpost] Series of powerful explosions were heard in the southern suburbs of the Syrian city of Quneitra, near the Israeli-Syrian border, Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar news reported, quoting Syrian television.Update: see here. The explosions were in Israeli territory, according to Syrian TV. It was later reported to be a military drill. Late November, Israel acknowledged a series of ![]() KABOOM!... s against military targets belonging to the Iranian Quds Force and the Syrian army, in response to explosives that had been placed along the border by an Iranian terrorist cell. Syria’s SANA news agency said at that time that the strikes, near the village of Rwihinah, south of Quneitra near the Israeli border, and near Jabal Mane near the town of Kiswah south of Damascus, caused "only material damage." The strikes then hit eight targets from the Golan Heights to Damascus, including an Iranian military complex near Damascus International Airport; a secret military barracks that acts as a housing complex for senior Iranian officials as well as visiting delegations; a command post for Division 7 of the Syrian army, which cooperates with the Quds Force; and mobile surface-to-air missile trucks that fired toward Israeli jets during the strikes.
