Syrian media also claimed on Thursday evening that Israel had targeted sites in southern Syria and near Damascus with airstrikes in two separate waves.

11 leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in an airstrike targeting Damascus International Airport on Thursday evening, Saudi media reported the following morning.

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards in eastern Syria, Nur Rashid, was injured in the airstrike, Saudi media channel Al-Hadath reported.

    Tin foil hat warning, but it is starting to feel like Israel knows it’s losing US support for the genocide, so is looking to broaden the conflict to force the US to relock arms with them.

    Ps. Why doesn’t this source mention that Israel is responsible for this strike, it’s reported all over the place I didn’t even think it was a question. The JP treats it like some rogue weather event that came out of nowhere.

      That’s kinda my read on it too.

      Re: “why are they softballing the fact that Israel did the thing”: uh… it’s jpost. How is that surprising? It’s like expecting RT to give an accurate report on Russian missile strikes in Ukraine.

      I really feel it’s Iran who’s been doing everything it can to broaden the war and make itself a target. But I don’t understand why.

      This is in response to all their attacks through various proxies such as Houthis, Hamas, Hezbolla, Iraq, Syria, etc.

      Honestly, I’d love to see the Islamic Republic fall. I feel terrible for the citizens of Iran who once were some of the most progressive and secular in the region. Sooner the guard and government there are removed the better.
