It reportedly was the 12th Israeli attack on Syrian territory since the beginning of the year and came after the Israeli Air Force struck the SSRC.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Images published by Israeli intelligence firm ImageSat International (ISI) of a\u00a0site allegedly struck by Israel<\/a>\u00a0on Friday show the complete destruction of the site.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to ISI, the structures that were hit served as an entrance to underground tunnels and were completely\u00a0destroyed by the airstrike<\/a>s. The same structures were hit on September 2018 in another strike blamed on Israel and were rebuilt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian civil war, said that at least eight missiles were fired toward weapons depots and sites belonging to\u00a0Iranian militias<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A five-man crew of a Pantsir missile defense system was killed after firing toward IAF jets. Another seven civilians were injured.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to SOHR, it was the 12th Israeli attack on Syrian territory since the beginning of the year. The report by ISI said that the strikes came after the Israel Air Force struck the SSRC east, north and west on April 9th.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cISI assesses that this underground facility is related to SSRC facility in Masyaf,\u201d the report said.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There have been numerous airstrikes in the Masyaf area which is thought to be used by Iran as a base for their militia forces. The area is also where Syria\u2019s Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), known also by its French name Centre D’Etudes et de Recherches Scientifiques (CERS) is located.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli officials have repeatedly voiced concerns over Iran\u2019s entrenchment in Syria and the smuggling of sophisticated weaponry to Hezbollah from Tehran to Lebanon via Syria, stressing that both are red lines for the Jewish State.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel has been carrying out its war-between-wars campaign for close to a decade in an attempt to prevent Iran from entrenching itself in Syria and to stop Tehran from smuggling advanced weaponry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Quds Force were the main targets of Israel\u2019s war-between-wars campaign, known in Hebrew as MABAM. Over the years it has carried out thousands of kinetic strikes, in Syria and further from its borders, by land, sea, air as well as cyberkineticly in order to prevent the Iranian regime from reaching its goal of regional hegemony as well as becoming a nuclear state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel has repeatedly increased its strikes in Syria despite an increase in tension with Russia which is enormously influential after they intervened in 2015 on the side of President Bashar Assad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel and Russia have a safety mechanism in place in order to make sure that Moscow is informed ahead of Israeli action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2019, ISI released satellite imagery that showed the complete deployment of four Russian-made S-300 missile defense systems in Masyaf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia delivered the launcher, radar and command-and-control vehicle of the advanced air-to-surface missile system to the Assad regime after a Russian reconnaissance plane was downed by Syrian air defenses during an Israeli airstrike on Iranian targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Syrian Arab Army is equipped with a range of older Russian-made surface-to-air missile systems such as the SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, SA-6,-SA-8, SA-11, SA-17, SA-19, SA-22, and Pantsir 1 air defense systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia has also deployed their advanced S-300 and S-400 air defense batteries but has not given them to the Syrians, rather they man themselves. They have yet to be used against Israeli jets, in part due to the ongoing safety mechanisms in place between Jerusalem and Moscow.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the response time by Syrian SAMs to Israeli operations has become quicker and they have fired over a thousand missiles toward Israeli jets in the past seven years, they have been unable to stop them from carrying out their missions.<\/span><\/p>\n
