Three Iranians were killed in an air strike on a Syrian air base near Homs on Sunday, Iran’s Fars news agency said, as Syria and its main ally Russia blamed Israel for carrying out the attack.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Over the weekend, the Syrian regime carried out a horrific chemical attack on it's own people yet again, resulting in scores of dead women and children. President Trump strongly condemned the attack. Then just this morning, Israel launched twin F-15 fighter jets to wipe out an Iranian weapons stronghold in Syria. All the big end times players are on the same prophecy playing field yet again, how far will it go this time? And the countdown to Israel's 70th anniversary continues to tick, tock, tick.
Israel gave the United States advance warning of its early Monday morning strike on a military base in Syria, according to initial reports, while the Kremlin charged that it failed to inform Russia.
Some sources have argued, however, that Israel did warn Russia, and as a result, Moscow pulled its personnel from the base. There were no Russian casualties from the attack. Israel has not made any statement on the strike. The US, France and Great Britain have also said they were not involved in the operation.
The Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s most powerful military force have been fighting in support of Syrian president Bashar Assad for several years. More than 1,000 Iranians have been killed in Syria, including senior members of the Guards.
The semi-official Fars news said on Monday that "two defenders of the shrine, Seyed Ammar Mousavi and Akbar Zavar Jannati" were killed in the air strike "carried out by the Zionist regime's fighter jets."Iran calls its fighters in Syria the defenders of the shrine as it says the forces are there to protect the Zeinab Shrine, a Shi’ite holy site near Damascus. In a subsequent report, Fars said a third fighter called Mehdi Lotfi Niasar has been killed in the attack.
The attack took place hours after US President Donald Trump warned of a "big price to pay" following the reports of a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma which killed dozens of people, including children.
