Iran-Hezbollah Network In Syria And After Homs Airstrikes


 Early Saturday morning, reports of airstrikes in Syria's Homs governorate surfaced. These reports come at a crucial time for the region as Jordan is hosting the Syrian government this week and Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi is slated to visit Damascus. Other reports suggested that Saudi Arabia might be interested in using its newly established ties with Iran to communicate directly or indirectly with Hezbollah about matters about the country's next president. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the Iranian foreign minister, most recently traveled to Lebanon.


Due to its intersection with significant tectonic changes in the area, changes that are related to diplomatic developments, Syria is a significant player today. Turkish, Russian, and Iranian officials recently met with Syrian officials in Moscow, indicating that some nations view Syria as a diplomatic option. Airstrikes are therefore a different tactic than diplomacy because Damascus continues to allow Iran to supply Hezbollah with weapons through Syria.


The airstrikes were not missed by local media. According to Al-Mayadeen, a pro-regime media outlet, three people were hurt during the strikes as a result of a fire that started in a fuel tank.


Several social media posts about the airstrikes were published by the Alma Research and Education Centre, which focuses on security issues along Israel's northern borders. 

A tweet stated that- "An airstrike was carried out in the area of Al Dabaa airport (southwest of Homs) and the area of Shinshar (south of Homs)." 

In the past week, a medium-sized Iranian Antonov 74 cargo plane operated by YasAir was repeatedly spotted, apparently traveling to and from Dabaa airport, the statement continued. Hezbollah and the Shia Axis are active on this airfield. Additionally, it mentions that Shinshar has warehouses and hangars and is close to a Syrian air defense base.


The tweet continues, "At this point, it is unclear exactly where the attack was carried out as we do not have any recent images of Dabaa or the industrial area. It's possible that the Iranian plane's arrival last week, the storage of the cargo it brought, and the closure of the airfield (which affected its routes) were all factors in the attack.
