Israeli warplanes hit Hezbollah weapons depot hard

Israeli warplanes struck a Hezbollah weapons cache outside Damascus early Friday morning, reported The Times of Israel.

Three sorties were carried out near Damascus International Airport, a stronghold of Iranian-backed terrorist organization.

"Israeli warplanes targeted with rocket fire a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah near the airport," said the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman. 

Images of the alleged Israeli strike are now on social media for your freudenschade enjoyment. Smoke can be seen billowing in an area near the airport. 

Israel, Syria or Hezbollah neither confirm nor denies any of the reports.

Little Israel has for years carried out airstrikes in Syrian territories to destroy or at least contain the military infrastructure of its many enemies, including Russian-built anti-aircraft missiles and Iranian-made missiles. It also enjoys and occasional explosion at Hezbollah outposts and outhouses.

Two weeks ago, an Israeli air raid on a Syrian regime depot hit a motherlode of chemical weapons that were being transferred to Hezbollah.

Just this week, a Hezbollah drone was shot down by an Israeli Air Force Patriot missile, after it entered the demilitarized zone on the Israeli-Syria border.

Although this latest strike wasn't confirmed by military officials or Israeli civilians, Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, unable to keep a secret, kind of hinted that Israel was behind the attack.

With a twinkle in Katz's eye, he told Army Radio that he could "confirm that the incident in Syria completely conforms to Israel's policy" of preventing Iran from smuggling weapons to Hezbollah's fightin' scumquats.
