Israel Defense Ministry ‘Sends Message’ To Assad By Publishing Ofek 11 Spy Photos Of Syrian Presidential Palace And Damascus Airport

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



To mark 30 years since its first orbital launch, Israel Defense Ministry publishes images from its newest spy satellite, showing Syrian tanks, an airfield… and Bashar Assad’s home

After launching over 200 airstrikes on Syria over the past year to stop Iranian aggression, Israel today ‘sent a message’ to the Syrian government in the form of high resolution photographs taken by their Ofek 11 spy Satellite. The three photos of the presidential palace, the Damascus Airport and a Syrian military base, let Assad known in no uncertain terms that Israel has Syria in thier crosshairs and will not hesitate to pull the trigger if forced to do so.

FROM TIMES OF ISRAEL: Israel on Monday released photographs taken by its newest spy satellite of sites located deep inside Syria, including Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s palace, in an apparent threat to the regime. The images, taken by the Ofek 11 spy satellite, were released by the Defense Ministry to mark 30 years since Israel’s first orbital launch on September 19, 1988. The three photographs released by the ministry showed the Syrian Presidential Palace, also known as the Palace of the People; tanks on a Syrian military base; and the Damascus international airport, which was reportedly targeted by an Israeli missile strike on Saturday night.

The publication of the images could be seen as both a show of strength and a tacit threat to Syria, where Israel has routinely conducted air raids against Iranian targets — over 200 of them since 2017, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The Saturday night strike reportedly targeted an Iranian plane at the Damascus international airport that was delivering weapons to pro-regime forces and Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps units fighting in Syria’s civil war, as well as several weapons storage facilities at the airport itself.

There was no official Israel comment on the reported attack. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday seemed to acknowledge that the Israeli military was responsible for it

“Israel is constantly working to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with advanced weaponry,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusalem. “Our red lines are as sharp as ever and our determination to enforce them is stronger than ever.”

The Syrian state news agency, SANA, claimed that Israel had targeted the airport with missiles, activating the country’s air defenses, which shot down a number of the projectiles. The Syrian military has often been accused of exaggerating its successes in intercepting incoming missiles.

On Sunday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said that the alleged Israeli strike caused “substantial” damage at the airport, but had no immediate information on casualties. READ MORE

      nothing else on this planet matters right now–usa and russian battle fleets are moving into eastern mediterranean–all the coasts are closed to shipping and aircraft–the russians are enforcing this against any and all-the usa 6th fleet is there and the uss truman strike force is joining–the russians have 25 war ships in the area–it is lock down time–it will take a miracle for this not to go big time “upgrade”….
