Satellite photo shows aftermath of Israeli strike on Iranian compound in Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA satellite image distributed by an Israeli private intelligence firm shows that a compound in the Syrian town of Aqrabah, which the IDF says was used by Iran-backed troops to launch explosives-laden attack drones, was completely destroyed in an Israeli strike late Saturday night.
The military says Iran-supported troops used the compound as a base of operations for a plot to launch kamikaze drones at military and civilian targets in northern Israel.
When the Shiite operatives appeared poised to carry out their attack, the IDF launched a series of airstrikes on the Aqrabah base.
“The Iranian compound was completely destroyed,” according to ImageSat International, the satellite imagery analysis firm.
