Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Sending a message to Assad
2024-11-22
[Ynet] Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition organization based in London, reported Thursday evening that at least 82 terrorists and commanders in the pro-Iranian militias and the Lebanese Hezbollah organization were killed in the unusual attack in Syria attributed to Israel in Tadmor.
Tadmor is another name for the city of Palmyra, which is next to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not that the archeological treasure kept any of the parties in Syria’s civil war from merrily engaging in extreme violence in the area over the past decade, but the standard is different for Israel.
According to the group, 56 of the dead are Syrians affiliated with the pro-Iranian militias, and 22 are of non-Syrian nationality, most of them from the pro-Iranian Iraqi al-Nujaba militia. Next to them, four Hezbollah members also were killed.

If the reports are correct, it appears that this is a message to Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is hosting senior members of Hezbollah, and therefore Israel is increasing the pressure on the terrorist organization, precisely at the height of negotiations toward a cease-fire, and maximizing success in hitting it not only in Lebanon.
Too bad some terrorists, like ICC or EU officials, are currently untouchable.
