An unnamed Israeli military official told Saudi Arabia’s Elaph newspaper on 9 February that Tel Aviv will not hesitate to bomb Iranian aid deliveries for disaster-struck Syria under claims that Tehran seeks to “take advantage of the tragic situation … to send weapons and equipment to Hezbollah.”
The anonymous official added Israel has “intelligence” to back up their claims, as the Israeli army has “intensified its monitoring by air, land, and sea of everything that Iran is transporting to Syria.”
Iran has been one of the leading countries providing humanitarian assistance to Syria since a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated the country’s northwest region.
As of Friday morning, the death toll from the quake in Syria had surpassed 3,300 people.
As a result of western sanctions, aid deliveries for Syria have been largely hindered compared to the flow of aid entering neighboring Turkiye, forcing Damascus to rely on allied nations like Russia and Iran to assist survivors.
Israel’s newest threat comes just two weeks after its drones bombed three Iranian food trucks loaded with flour and rice as they headed from Iraq into Syria.
The trucks were attempting to legally enter Syria through the Al-Bukamal border crossing days after it was opened for commercial trucks for the first time since 2019.
Israel has previously prevented aid from arriving in Syria by bombing the country’s airports, using similar claims of “weapons deliveries” from Iran.
In September of last year, the UN Syria Commission decried Israeli airstrikes on Damascus International Airport “made it impossible” for the UN to deliver humanitarian aid to Syrians in need.
The attack on 10 June severely damaged the two runways at Syria’s main joint-use airport, crippling civilian air traffic in and out of the country. The statement came just days after Israel bombed Aleppo International Airport twice in the same week.
Israel regularly carries out illegal airstrikes inside Syria on what it claims to be Iranian or Hezbollah targets.

Iran has the technology to blast these creeps out of the sky. Russia also needs to update new missile systems in Syria from the SS-300 systems to the SS-400 and even the SS-500 systems. Gawd’s chosen psychopaths seem to think they can do whatever they please. Because of the destruction of American hegemony, this is coming to an end. I believe they know this and are acting even more irrationally.

Good points, Willpower, though the role of British intelligence in establishing a Jewish state in Palestine is often overlooked.

The entire Anglo-American Establishment pushed to establish that artificial country. The use of anti-Jewish propaganda was instrumental in creating a psyop for that purpose. The work camps became factories of death and suddenly the Germans were using homicidal gas chambers. None of it is true but, try telling that to fraudulent organizations such as the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

Yes, and the British themselves were killed by the Mongols.
