Satellite photos said to show damage from reported Israeli strike in Syria

Satellite photos released by an Israeli firm show damage to purported Iranian weapons storage facilities in Syria that were targeted in airstrikes attributed to Israel.

The images from ImageSat International show destroyed buildings at a base in Damascus of the Syrian army’s 4th division, which reportedly housed Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets.

ImageSat also publishes photos showing no visible damage in other areas of Syria reportedly targeted in Tuesday’s aerial raids.

Though Israel has not officially acknowledged being behind the strikes, a senior Israeli official told The Associated Press Wednesday that the Israeli Air Force had carried out the attacks, which he said primarily targeted facilities used by Iran to send weapons to Hezbollah, the Shiite terror group in Lebanon it backs.
