Report: Israel’s Attack In Damascus First Since Iran-Syria Sign Defense Pact

An attack in Damascus Monday night, allegedly attributed to the Israel Air Force, was the first air raid executed in Syria following the defense pact signed between Bashar al-Assad’s regime and Iran.

Over the past few weeks, reports broke about Iran’s intention to beef up Syria’s defense system with self-produced military supplies, particularly for the defense of Syrian, as well as Lebanese, airspace.

According to outlet Mako, the Iranians are interested in sending some of their own surface-to-air defense systems after the reported failure of the Russian S-300 and Pantsir surface-to-air missile systems that were deployed in Syria.

The weapons mentioned in the report are the Iranian Bavar-373, which Tehran describes as its version of the S-300, and the Khordad 15 surface-to-air missile system unveiled for the first time on June 9, 2019.
