Syrian Army Shoots Down Israeli Fighter Jet over Quneitra

The Syrian air defense system shot down an Israeli warplane violating the Arab country’s air space.

The Israeli fighter jet was targeted over the city of Al-Quneitra on Friday.

Israel regularly violates the Syrian airspace and it launches missile attacks against the Arab country.

On Friday, the Israeli Air Force resumed airstrikes on Western Syria, targeting Brigade 68 Base in Khan Al-Sheih in Damascus province and Brigade 90 Base in the al-Quneitra province after a six hour halt in attacks that followed their multiple air raids over the Golan Heights.

The Brigade 68 Base has no heavy weaponry that can reach Israel’s borders and the soldiers inside its parameters have been under siege by the al-Qaeda-linked group of al-Nusra Front and their allies from Ajnad al-Sham and Jeish al-Islam.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Israeli aircraft were identified as helicopters that crossed into the Syrian Golan Heights before midnight on Thursday night.

In mid-July, Israel launched missile attacks against an army base in Syria’s Southeastern Suweida province.

The Syrian dissidents were quoted by Qassioun news website as claiming that Israel fired several missiles at the base of the Syrian army’s division 150 in Suweida in which the SAM-5 anti-aircraft missiles are stocked up and is 20km away from Khalkhala airport.

Qassioun claimed that it was a deterrence measure to prevent the access of armed groups to the long-range missiles with high destructive power.

“These claims are raised as Israel is everyday increasing its assistance and supports for the terrorist groups in Syria and the terrorists have not even once attacked Israel and its interests in the region,” political analyst Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm said.

Reports in January said that Israeli hospitals continue admitting the terrorists who are wounded in Syria.

The terrorists wounded in fierce clashes with the Syrian army are currently undergoing treatment in the Israeli hospitals, according to the Israeli media outlets.

The admittance of a growing number of Syrian militants in the Israeli medical facilities is a clear indication of the continuing support being offered by the Tel Aviv to the terrorists who are fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

About 465 terrorists, who were wounded in Syria, have received treatment only at the Israeli Nahariya hospital in Galilee, according to reports published by the Israeli Walla website.

In December, a terrorist who had been wounded in the military operations in Syria was admitted to the Israeli Poriya hospital in Tiberias in Israel.

The Walla website reported that the injured terrorist, who had been admitted to the Poriya hospital, was 37 and had a leg wound, noting that Poriya Hospital has so far treated up to 130 wounded terrorists.

Israeli forces have already moved hundreds of terrorists who were wounded while fighting the Syrian army and people, in clear violation of the UN and Security Council resolutions.

Giving medical treatment to wounded terrorists is only one aspect of the Israeli unlimited support provided to the terrorist organizations fighting the Syrian army and attacking civilians.

This support has amounted to no less than Israeli warplanes launching attacks against sites inside the Syrian territory, proving Israel’s undoubted involvement in the internationally-devised terrorist war still raging in Syria since 2011.

Syria in Last 24 Hours: Army Destroys Terrorists’ Positions in Daraa

The Syrian army destroyed several concentration camps of the foreign-backed terrorists in the countryside of Daraa over the past 24 hours.

The Army units targeted the militants’ hideouts and concentration camps in Daraa countryside, killing tens of terrorists and injuring dozens more.

A large number of Al-Nusra Front terrorists were killed and their military hardware were destroyed in the army operations.

Other army units also destroyed several vehicles of the terrorists in Tal al-Harra in the Northwestern countryside of Daraa near the border with the occupied Syrian Golan.

Also in the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force resumed airstrikes on Western Syria, targeting Brigade 68 Base in Khan Al-Sheih in Damascus province and Brigade 90 Base in the al-Quneitra province after a six hour halt in attacks that followed their multiple air raids over the Golan Heights.

The Brigade 68 Base has no heavy weaponry that can reach Israel’s borders and the soldiers inside its parameters have been under siege by the al-Qaeda-linked group of al-Nusra Front and their allies from Ajnad al-Sham and Jeish al-Islam.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Israeli aircrafts were identified as helicopters that crossed into the Syrian Golan Heights before midnight on Thursday night.

Meantime, the Syrian Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard – in coordination with the 137th Artillery Brigade of the 17th Reserve Division and the National Defense Forces (NDF) – finally lifted the six-month-long siege of the Al-Jourah District after they broke through the ISIL terrorists’ frontline at the Al-Qusour district, sources said.

The sources said that the Syrian army, after lofting the siege of al-Jourah, began to bring in humanitarian aid for the 20,000 residents of the Al-Jourah district, providing them food, medical supplies, and large cases of water.

In addition to their success at the al-Jourah district, the Syrian soldiers cleared the al-Muri’iyah Farms after intense clashes with the terrorist group inside this village that borders the Deir Ezzur Military Airport to the East.

Firefights between the Syrian army and the ISIL were also reported inside the al-Rashidiyah, al-Hamidiyah, al-Jubeileh, Old Airport, al-Kanamat, Sheikh Yassine, and al-Husseiniyeh Districts of Deir Ezzur City.

Inside al-Jafra, the Syrian army troops targeted an ISIL hideout near the Jafra-Hatla axis, resulting in the death of 13 enemy combatants.

Elsewhere, the Syrian Army’s 63rd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division, the Hezbollah fighter, the National Defense Forces (NDF), and the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) continued their full-scale siege of al-Zabadani, capturing more territory from Ahrar al-Sham and al-Nusra Front inside the city in the West of Syria, informed sources said.

The sources confirmed that the Syrian forces and Hezbollah began their assault inside the Uthman Neighborhood near al-Zabadani’s city-center, killing 13 enemy combatants from Ahrar al-Sham and the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) before they were able to seize the entire area from the aforementioned rebel units.

Following the capture of the Uthman Neighborhood, the Syrian army and the Lebanese resistance movement advanced to the Rawada Al-Bara’am Neighborhood, where they experienced similar success as the previous assault, killing 9 enemy combatants from Ahrar al-Sham and the FSA before they would impose full control over this area near al-Zabadani’s city-center.

In addition to their success near Al-Zabadani’s city-center, Hezbollah and the Syrian soldiers captured the Haql al-Jouz Zone near the al-Bayt Mosque after intense firefights with Al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham combatants on Thursday afternoon.

As of Thursday night, Hezbollah and the Syrian army men have approximately 1 square kilometer of territory left to go before the strategic city of al-Zabadani is under their control.

Meantime, the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement foiled the ISIL Takfiri terrorists’ infiltration attempts into the Jawsiyah border-crossing to open a new supplying line towards Syria.

Two hours after Hezbollah and the Syrian Army’s 4th Mechanized Division recaptured the vast hills of Jaroud Qa’a and Jaroud Ba’albak, the ISIL regrouped to mount another powerful assault on the Jawsiyah border-crossing into Syria from their positions inside Lebanon’s Northern parts.

The terrorist group stormed the hills of Jaroud Qa’a and Jaroud Ba’albak for the second time in 72 hours, targeting a number of Hezbollah and Syrian army controlled checkpoints near the border with Syria; however, the ISIL combatants were unable to attain the same level of success that they achieved against Hezbollah and the Syrian army two days ago.

Unable to penetrate the Lebanese Resistance’s frontlines at Jaroud Qa’a and Al-Na’imat, the ISIL combatants were forced to withdraw after sustaining a significant number of casualties.

The ISIL has recently concentrated on this area of Northeastern Lebanon after they launched a number of failed offensives in the ‘Arsal District of the Ba’albak Governorate that eventually led to a counter-assault by Hezbollah in May of 2015.

Sources: Israeli Syria Raids Aimed at Boosting Terrorists’ Morale

The latest Israeli raids on Syria are aimed at boosting the morale of the terrorist militants operating in the Golan Heights.

The raids also aim to cover the attacks carried out by the Takfiri insurgents in Daraa and Quneitra, Syrian sources told al-Manar on Friday.

Earlier on Thursday, Zionist warplanes bombed an area in Syria’s southwestern province of Quneitra after the Israeli military claimed four rockets fired from the Syrian soil hit the northern occupied territories.

Official news agency in Syria, SANA, reported that the raids targeted the Transport Directorate and the Governorate’s Building.

Following the raid, the Syrian army announced full readiness following calls by terrorist commanders to utilize form the Israeli aerial coverage and stage attacks against army checkpoints in Quneitra.
