Military sources in Tel Aviv confirmed yesterday (Thursday) that Israel targeted the Iranian convoy that was bombed two days ago near the Iraqi-Syrian border, noting that it was “carrying weapons and ammunition, not just oil, as Tehran claims.”
The sources confirmed that Tehran, “which received severe blows in destroying convoys of weapons through several Syrian airports, especially Damascus International Airport, returned to transport by land, and has tried to hide these weapons through a civilian convoy, hoping that Israeli intelligence will not discover them.”
The sources expressed their belief that the Syrian regime asked Iran to stop the transfer of weapons “because the Israeli strikes destroyed most of the Syrian military industries, but Iran insists on sending missile warheads to its industries in Syria and Lebanon, in order to ensure the continuation of the missile industry and improve its accuracy.”
She pointed out that “the Israeli military leaders decided to prevent this transfer, despite the dangers of a clash with Russia in the Syrian airspace and territory.”
She added that “Tel Aviv insists on sending clear messages to all players on the Syrian soil that it will not allow the transfer of weapons in any way, and it is trying to carry out its raids in the eastern regions of Syria, before reaching the west, where the Russian army is located.”
According to the Israel Hayom newspaper, the Israeli military leaders are conducting “in-depth deliberations in which concern is evident over the change in the Russian response to the Israeli raids in Syria, which has so far been characterized by silence or political criticism of one out of every three or four raids.”
She explained that these leaders asked the Israeli Foreign Ministry, “to enter the line and test Moscow’s pulse through diplomatic channels.”
