Syrian army says 'new enemy aggression' hit military positions in missile strike04/29/20183:59:49 PMUPDATED ON04/29/20185:54:50 PM
The severity of the blasts registered as over 2.0 on the Richter scale
Several explosions rocked northwest Syria overnight Sunday in what was believed to be a missile attack against Iranian targets, said Syrian media reports.A "new enemy aggression" targeted the Syrian regime's "military positions" in the provinces of Hama and Aleppo, reported official SANA news agency, without identifying the attackers.
However, video footage revealed that the massive blasts hit the Syrian army's 47th Brigade military base used by Iran-backed Shiite militias and an alleged headquarters for Iranian militants, according to Orient news outlet. The seismic severity of the blast was described as over 2.0 on the Richter scale and is said to have hit a weapons depot.
Local media reported that some 40 were killed in the attack and another 60 wounded.The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights monitor confirmed the firing of missiles, but it could not immediately say whether there were any casualties, nor who was responsible for the strikes.
Various outlets pointed the finger at Israel as being behind the attack as it was also believed responsible for a similar overnight airstrike that killed 14 militants, seven of which were Iranian, earlier this month.
A number of strikes on targets in Syria have been attributed to Israel, though it rarely confirms such raids.
However, the incident sparked a tense standoff between arch-foes Israel and Iran.
The raid was widely seen as its first direct attack on Iranian assets and a worrying sign of how Syria's seven-year conflict could escalate into a wider regional war.
Israel has repeatedly voiced concern over the increased presence of Iranian forces in Syria.
"We will not allow Iranian entrenchment in Syria, no matter the price to pay," Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman declared this month."
Every outpost in which we see Iran positioning militarily in Syria, we will destroy, and we will not allow this no matter what the price," he reiterated in an interview with a Saudi news outlet last week.With Iranian-backed militias entrenched in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, Iran's rivals worry it is seeking to dominate the region and gather forces for an attack on Israel.
