ISRAEL RESPONDS TO SYRIAN ARMY ADVANCE AGAINST ISIS IN DEIR EZZOR, STRIKES SYRIAN MILITARY FACILITY IN MASYAF
On September 7, the Israeli Air Force’s warplanes conducted a missile strike on an alleged “chemical weapons plant” in the town of Masyaf located west of Hama city in central Syria, pro-Israeli media reported.
According to other sources, the missiles hit a medium-range ballistic missiles plant located in the area. Earlier this year, Israel repeatedly claimed that Iran was building missile plants in Syria.
The Syrian Defense Ministry said the missile strike was made from the Lebanese airspace at 02:42 local time and hit a military facility in the area. 2 Syrian soldiers were killed as a result of the incident.
So far, Israel has refused to comment on the reports to the media.

The Syrian Defense Ministry said that the Israeli move was aimed at supporting ISIS.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:50 A.M.) – At approximately 2:42 A.M. (Damascus Time) on Thursday morning, several Israeli missiles traveling across Lebanon struck the Syrian military and the scientific research facility in the northeast Tartous city of Masyaf.
According to the Syrian Arab Army’s official statement, the Israeli missiles killed at least two soldiers and several more were wounded after the missiles scored direct hits on their intended targets.
Syria’s general command has warned of “dangerous repercussions of this aggressive action to the security and stability of the region” while reiterating its “resolve and determination to crush terrorism and uproot it from all the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic” regardless of the terrorist groups’ allegiances and sources of support.
This latest attack by the Israeli forces comes just 48 hours after the Syrian Arab Army achieved a strategic victory against the Islamic State (ISIL) in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
