The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Monday, November 14, three Israeli attacks on three farms in the south and southeast of Zainabiyah in the suburbs of Damascus. This UK-based organization monitoring developments in Syria stated that these farms were previously camps for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah. The Syrian Ministry of Defense also claimed that this Israeli attack, carried out from the Golan Heights, caused material damage. There is still no report available regarding potential casualties from this Israeli attack. As of the time of this report, the Israeli army has not commented on the attack. Zainabiyah is one of the main bases for Hezbollah and the proxies of the Islamic Republic in Damascus and has repeatedly been targeted by attacks attributed to Israel. Reza Mousavi, a former commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in this same area on December 25, 2023, due to an attack attributed to Israel. Attacks attributed to Israel against the positions of the Islamic Republic and its proxy groups in Syria have been numerous over the years, but the intensity and frequency of these attacks have significantly increased since the terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7 of last year, followed by the outbreak and escalation of conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah. According to statistics from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, during this calendar year, 25 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, 52 members of Hezbollah, 80 Syrian militia fighters supported by the Islamic Republic, and 25 non-Syrian militia fighters supported by the Islamic Republic have been killed due to attacks attributed to Israel in Syria. Israel has arrested an Islamic Republic 'informant' in Syria, two other Hezbollah commanders have been killed, and hundreds of thousands have fled from Lebanon to Syria due to Israeli attacks. U.S. military operations in Syria: at least 35 ISIS members killed.
