Aug 28,2022:Satellite imagery shows massive destruction at a giant military facility in western Syria that was targeted by a recent Israeli air attack.
The bombing blew up a depot housing hundreds of medium-range missiles for Iran-backed fighters in the country last week, according to the head of a Syrian opposition war monitor.
Rami Abdurrahman, who leads the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the Israelis struck several positions, but the main target hit was a giant arms depot housing about 1,000 precision-guided medium-range missiles.
He said the explosions at the facility lasted for more than five hours after the attack.
An underground facility to develop missiles in the area under the supervision of Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was not affected, probably because it was dug deep in the mountains. Abdurrahman said the attack killed one Syrian army captain and wounded 14 other Syrians.
“The explosions were among the largest since Israel began carrying out air strikes in Syria,” he said.
