After the rocket scientist and the Colonel Al-Ahsqar…ambiguity surrounds the death of the garrison’s alternate commander of an airbase that was bombed several times by Israel
Hama Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored that ambiguity is surrounding the death of an officer in the ranks of the regime forces, where a lieutenant colonel was found dead, and he is the garrison’s alternate commander of T4 Military Airbase, which is located in the Syrian Desert in the eastern countryside of Homs, and it was subjected to repeated bombardment by the Israeli forces in the past months, and sources talked about that he was killed in a traffic accident, which provoked the resentment of loyalists to the regime to the recurrence of such story that became a justification for the killing operations against officers by several parties, in the depth of the regime’s controlled areas, while ambiguity is still imposing it self over the issue of the death of the officer, Muhanad Ka’idi, on the road to Salamiyah, where the officer is descended from a village related to the countryside of Misyaf city.
And the Syrian Observatory published on the 24th of October 2018, that uncertainty still surrounds the reasons why an officer of the Republican Guard and his wife died in the capital Damascus, where the information conflicted between being targeted and between a traffic accident while he was moving in the capital, and in the details obtained by the Syrian Observatory: the colonel in the Republican Guard forces Monther Mahmoud Ashqar, who is from Squbeen area on the outskirts of Latakia city, died with his wife in the capital Damascus, amid confusion about the reasons for their deaths, whether it was caused by a targeting or a traffic accident, and this comes after more than 2 months of an assassination that took place in the western countryside of Hama, where the Syrian Observatory published on the 18th of August 2018 that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the assassination of a member from the regime forces in Masyaf area in the western countryside of Hama, where unidentified gunmen shot at member of the regime’s military intelligence on the road leading to Be’erin area, which caused his immediate death but no information about the causes and motives of the assassination, or the identity of the perpetrators of this assassination which were carried out in the southern countryside of Masyaf city, where the assassination comes 13 days after the assassination of the General Dr. Aziz Esber, who was assassinated on the night of the 5th of August 2018, and the Syrian Observatory monitored back then from sources close to the missile scientist Aziz Esber that the assassination was carried out by detonating a remote IED, which led to his death along with his driver, which provoked the resentment of his relatives, the people of his area, and Syrian citizens, from the assassination of one of the most important Syrian scientists in the military field by this method, and regime’s failure to provide an armored car to protect him from such incidents, especially that Esber was targeted by regional countries.
The Syrian Observatory published in the 5th of August 2018 that the Major General Aziz Esber is specializing in missiles fuel and in the development of medium-and short-range ballistic missiles, and he had nothing to do with the development of chemical weapons, also some of the rebel battalions claimed that they carried out this assassination, while they have nothing to do with the area of the assassination, just as happened earlier with the same faction, where it claimed responsibilities of previous killings and assassinations by posting that on social media platforms, also Aziz Esber the missile fuel and development scientist is almost more important than General Mohamed Suleiman, who was assassinated back in early August 2008 in al-Rimal al-Dahabiyyeh area of Tartous Province, who was the most important security advisor for the Syrian regime President Bashar al-Assad, it worth mentioning that Aziz Esber was the director of the Center of the Scientific Research in Masyaf in the western countryside of Hama, where the Center witnessed several Israeli strikes, where the Syrian Observatory published on the 22nd of July 2018 that the Defense Laboratories in al-Zawi area north of Masyaf in the western countryside of Hama were targeted, which caused destruction in the area, and on the 7th of September 2017, the SOHR learned that the explosions that targeted the western countryside of Hama were caused by Israeli missile strikes, that targeted the northeast of Masyaf city located in Hama countryside. Cross sources confirmed to the SOHR that the shelling targeted a vanguard camp, a short and medium-range missile depot and a scientific research center where some of the regime’s allied militiamen, of non-Syrian nationalities, who are fighting in the regime’s side in Hama, were present. As a result, at least 7 members of the regime forces were killed and injured. Whether there are casualties among the regime’s allied militiamen is still unknown.
