Israel strikes Iran-supplied arms depot near Damascus airport

Written by Teunis Felter

Israel struck an arms supply hub operated by the Lebanese group Hezbollah near Damascus airport on Thursday, Syrian rebel and regional intelligence sources said, targeting weapons sent from Iran via commercial and military cargo planes. Syrian state media said Israeli missiles hit a military position southwest of the airport, but did not mention arms or fuel. Israel does not usually comment on action it takes in Syria. But Intelligence Minister Israel Katz, speaking to Army Radio from the United States, appeared to confirm involvement.
