Fearing repeated Israeli attacks | Lebanese Hez*bollah camouflage positions and outposts near Syria-Lebanon border in Rif Dimashq
SOHR sources have reported that the Lebanese Hezbollah has camouflaged military positions and posts near the Syrian-Lebanese border in Rif Dimashq.
According to SOHR sources, during the past hours military patrols raised the internationally recognised Syrian flag at three Hezbollah positions and checkpoints near Dimas area, nearly four kilometres away from the border strip.
Iranian-backed militiamen stationed at those positions and checkpoints also wore the military uniforms of the regime forces and raise the Syrian flag on their cars, with pictures of Bashar Al-Assad, placed on them, amid great security tightening.
This comes as part of ongoing camouflage operations by Hezbollah and Iranian-affiliated militias as their military positions continue to be targeted by Israel and the coalition.
In October 2022, SOHR documented three Israeli attacks that left heavy human and material losses. Here are further details of these attacks:
October 21: Israeli strikes destroyed military logistics and equipment used to assemble Iranian-made drones in Dimas military airport area in western Rif Dimashq. The strikes also targeted a radar system and airstrip at the airport. However, no casualties were reported.
October 24: A regime Lieutenant and a member of the regime’s air-defence forces were killed in Israeli airstrikes which targeted military positions hosting militiamen of the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias in Rif Dimashq. The strikes targeted an air-defence battalion in Khirbet Al-Shayab area of Al-Kiswa in Rif Dimashq and Dimas airport in Rif Dimashq which is directly run by Lebanese Hezbollah.
October 27: Four “collaborators” with the Lebanese Hezbollah, including at least one Syrian, were killed in Israeli strikes which targeted weapons and ammunitions depots and Iranian-backed militias’ headquarters in the surrounding areas of Damascus international airport. The Israeli strikes reached six, four of which targeted weapons warehouses and positions of Iranian-backed militias and Lebanese Hezbollah in the farms to the west of Damascus airport, while the two others targeted areas to the south-west of the airport. The strikes also destroyed weapons and ammunition depots and inflicted heavy material losses on Iranian-backed militias.
