On Friday, June 26th, a Syrian Air Force strike killed an Israeli general and 20 militant leaders including liaison staff from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This was one of two strikes in the region targeting foreign military forces operating inside Syria.
The second attack, according to Dr. Haitham Abu, of DESI (European Department of Security and Information), wiped out a Chechnyan sniper platoon recently arrived from training facilities inside Jordan.
Israel’s Operation Southern Storm, the long planned move on Damascus through Jordan has suffered a major setback. Southern Storm was intended to be coordinated with attacks on Lebanon and a Turkish incursion into Syria from the north, scheduled for July 8, 2015 according to intelligence sources.
Both locations destroyed were supposed to be under, though inside Syria, extended Iron Dome air defense protection and impervious to attack. American Patriot missile batteries had been relocated to forward positions to provide air cover and support for al Qaeda/ISIS operations under Southern Storm according to intelligence sources.
Both attacks were in Daara Province, Syria scene of months of intense fighting. According to sources inside Syrian intelligence, the Israeli general killed was commander of Operation Southern Storm, a coordinated three pronged offensive aimed at the city of Daraa.
Yesterday, Daraa was hit with dozens of mortars and Grad rockets.
Operation Southern Storm is commanded from a MOC (military operations center) in the Jordanian city of al Karak.
