SOHR reveals | Israeli latest attacks hit positions hosting weapons and ammunition depots set up by the Iranians to evade detection

The Syrian Observatory has obtained new details about the Israeli latest attacks on central Syria on June 24. According to very reliable SOHR sources, the “Onions” factory, located near Sallamiay, is an official factory which is active during the morning shift. However, a part of the factory has been turned into weapons and ammunition warehouses by the Iranian forces. Israel’s recent attacks have destroyed these warehouses which caused large explosions triggering panic among the residents there, and  shrapnel injured several civilians. 

Similarly, the feed factory in Aqarib works full-time, but the Iranian militias have taken warehouses of the factory to store weapons in order to evade detection, so that they would not be attacked by Israeli strikes.

Meanwhile, the cultural center in Sabura accommodates groups of the National Defence Forces which are close to Iran.

It is worth noting that a drone was seen flying over these areas two days earlier, where they seemingly surveyed  these positions.

On Wednesday, SOHR sources reported that strikes of unknown origin, but believed to be carried out by Israeli forces, hit positions of regime forces and Iranian-backed militias in east Hama countryside, exactly the Onion Factory near Al-Sallamiya, used by Iranian militias as weapons and ammunition depots, which caused loud explosions.

Meanwhile, violent explosions were heard as a military post in the area of Ethraya was also struck, as well as striking the cultural center in Sabura and the feed factory in Aqarib in the eastern countryside of Hama. While ambulances were heard rushing to the site of the explosions, amid confirmed reports of casualties.
