Syrian pro-government sources said that the military positions that were targeted are the 47th Brigade ammo depot east of the city of Hama, the Fire Fighters Center in the western Hama countryside and a military position around Aleppo Airport.
All three positions are known to be bases of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and different Iranian-backed armed groups. According to Syrian opposition sources, several Iranian serivcemembers were killed in the strikes.
All of the available facts suggest that Israel was behind these strikes. The Israeli Air Force used a similar tactic to target a position of the IRGC in Syria’s T4 airbase on April 9. Since then, serval Israel officials have threatened that they will continue to attack the Iranian bases in Syria.
