Syrian Report: Explosions at Iranian base near Aleppo

There are conflicting reports about the dramatic explosion that rocked an Iranian base near Aleppo. Hezbollah media denied the reports and claimed the explosions were detonations in the warehouse.

The reports coming out of Syria were contradictory. Initially, the media said the base was hit by an unidentified aircraft, which some attributing the attack to Israel. The next reports claimed the explosion was due to an accident at the facility.

The Iranian base is located in the Jabal Azzan region south of Aleppo--it's the largest in the country.

Hezbollah media sources denied the report: "A powerful explosion went off late Saturday in an area of southern Aleppo province," the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) group said.

SOHR's head, Rami Abdel Rahman, reported the region was known to host Iranian scum wafers deployed in Syria. They are there to support Bashal al Assad's regime and allied Afghan fighters from the Fatemiyoun Brigade.

Last week seven Iranian military personnel were killed in an air strike on a Syrian airbase. Hezbollah blamed the attack on Israel.

Jerusalem didn't confirm nor deny carrying out the raid, but said the Tiyas, (T-4) air base was being used by Iranian troops and Israel would not accept Iran's presence in Syria, knowing how dedicated Iran is to destroy the Jewish State.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Iran's use of Syria as a base of operations and said that "President Assad must understand the Middle East more than any other is Iran, and that President Assad must understand that when he allows Iran and its proxies to establish its military presence in Syria, he is endangering Syria and the stability of the entire region."

Israeli authorities said in February that it intercepted an Iranian drone launched from Syria and carried out strikes against air defenses and that Iranian targets in the country. Iran, of course, denied the downing of its drone in Israel.

Israeli warplanes hit Hezbollah weapons depot hard

Israeli warplanes struck a Hezbollah weapons cache outside Damascus early Friday morning, reported The Times of Israel.

Three sorties were carried out near Damascus International Airport, a stronghold of Iranian-backed terrorist organization.

"Israeli warplanes targeted with rocket fire a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah near the airport," said the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman. 

Images of the alleged Israeli strike are now on social media for your freudenschade enjoyment. Smoke can be seen billowing in an area near the airport. 

Israel, Syria or Hezbollah neither confirm nor denies any of the reports.

Little Israel has for years carried out airstrikes in Syrian territories to destroy or at least contain the military infrastructure of its many enemies, including Russian-built anti-aircraft missiles and Iranian-made missiles. It also enjoys and occasional explosion at Hezbollah outposts and outhouses.

Two weeks ago, an Israeli air raid on a Syrian regime depot hit a motherlode of chemical weapons that were being transferred to Hezbollah.

Just this week, a Hezbollah drone was shot down by an Israeli Air Force Patriot missile, after it entered the demilitarized zone on the Israeli-Syria border.

Although this latest strike wasn't confirmed by military officials or Israeli civilians, Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, unable to keep a secret, kind of hinted that Israel was behind the attack.

With a twinkle in Katz's eye, he told Army Radio that he could "confirm that the incident in Syria completely conforms to Israel's policy" of preventing Iran from smuggling weapons to Hezbollah's fightin' scumquats.

The Bad Guys Defeat the Other Bad Guys

Sunday-- Assad's Syrian forces with the help of Putin's airstrikes, have recaptured Palmyra from Daesh terrorists (aka ISIS, ISIL, Islamic State, and whatever else they come up with).

The weak-chinned leader's forces have been on the attack there for almost three weeks to recapture what ISIS took back in last May. This victory at Palmyra has saved a town whose 2,000 year old ruins had been a huge tourist trap of the country, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

ISIS has not been doing so well of late, especially after this setback. Beheadings are down, immolations have gone cold, and many of the men in black are feeling depressed, as if Allah has let them down.

The Syrian advance is the latest of ISIS setbacks coming in Iraq and Syria, and President for Life Assad lisped that the offensive had been a "significant achievement." 

Isn't it interesting that dictatorial killers like Bashar al-Assad and Ernesto Che Guevara were both medical practitioners? Must have had their fill of the "helping professions" and tried the opposite approach.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based at a relatively safer location in Coventry, England confirmed the recapture of Palmyra and that about 400 Muslim jihadists were killed, according to Sky News.

Syrian state TV reported that the overthrow of Daesh offered "new evidence of the effectiveness of the strategy espoused by the Syrian army and its allies in the war against terrorism." 

But Allen West and others have said that you can't have a war on terrorism because you'd be having a war on a strategy. It's a war on people,  and they are Islamic jihadists who take their Koran seriously--not with the proverbial grain of salt like the non-violent Muslims do.

"That's the heaviest losses that ISIS has sustained in a single battle since its creation," Rami Abdel Rahman of the Observatory said. "It is a symbolic defeat for ISIS comparable with that in Kobani." 

Russian jets flew 40 sorties around Palmyra and struck 158 targets which killed 100 dark souls belonging to the ISIS scumcrumpets. The airstrikes have helped Syria and have done more to confront the war on the Islamic State than all the strong words Barack Hussein Obama has thrown at them whenever he believes he must in order to pacify the patriots.

Syrian state TV interrupted its regular programming of the "Homs Shopping Channel" to feature a documentary about Palmyra and its famous archeological sites. Earlier programming aired national songs as well as videos released by ISIS showing their horrific acts of violence in Syria and Iraq, all in the name of Allah, aka Mohammad.

One TV reporter spoke live (for now) from Palmyra pointing out Syrian troops in the center of town and showing some of the building reduced to rubble, causing some viewers to make comments such as: "This place looks like Detroit."

When ISIS first took Palmyra, they began to demolish some of the more famous monuments because, according to Islam, ancient ruins promote idolatry. Ant idolatry is worse than killing your daughter for listening to music or becoming Kosher. 

ISIS used Palmyra's ancient amphitheater to stage public executions, including the beheading of the (former) Palmyra antiquities chief. They also tore down Tadmur prison where thousands of Syrian government opponents had been tortured by old "Weak Chin."
