Israeli airstrike on Mount Qassiyun, Damascus. Still from a YouTube video
Early in the night of May 5th Damascus was shook up by a massive explosion on Mount Qasioun.
Allegedly this would have been an Israeli air raid on the headquarters of the Syrian Republican Guard. The 104th and 105th Brigades of the Syrian Republican Guard were heavily hit in the attack.
The overnight Israeli strike reportedly targeted Iranian-supplied missiles to Lebanese guerilla group Hezbollah, a Western intelligence source told Reuters. The source said:
“In last night’s attack, as in the previous one, what was attacked were stores of Fateh-110 missiles that were in transit from Iran to Hezbollah”
There are a number of videos circulating of the strike:
