Beirut: Air attacks launched on Syria’s air and military bases, claimed lives of 8 Iranian soldiers. A human rights organisation claimed that all of them were part of Iranian-backed forces. An Israeli newspaper reported, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Air Force chief, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh had made a narrow escape during the attacks. Also, Syrian media stated that Israel had carried out the attacks.
The Syrian media had reported the attacks and accused the Israel fighter jets of having carried them out. They further stated the attacks had caused significant destruction to Syrian military bases as also an Iran-backed group. However, neither the Assad regime nor the Israeli military has confirmed or denied the claims.
Now, a UK-based Syrian human rights organisation has revealed a sensational piece of information on the attacks. Three people died in an attack on an airport near capital Damascus on Sunday midnight. Furthermore, Iran’s state-run media acknowledged the Iranian Air Force commander Hajizadeh had made a close shave while on a visit to the IRGC base located at Agarba to the south of Damascus.
On Wednesday night, an attack at the Albaukamal military base left five dead. The international media claim all of them are Iranian soldiers, although a Syrian human rights organisation asserts they belonged to Iran-back militia.

‘Israel’s will always remain one step ahead of the enemy and will maintain the policy hereon. Israel will not allow Iran to establish a base in Iraq come what may’, Lt. Gen. Kochavi warned.
