In the silence of the early morning, the sky of Damascus was again torn apart by the roar of warplanes. On the morning of February 2, Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a number of targets south of Damascus, Syrian news agency SANA reported. This sudden attack has undoubtedly exacerbated tensions in the region and aroused widespread concern from the international community.
During this air strike, the Syrian air defense forces showed stubborn combat effectiveness. They reacted quickly and delivered a powerful return to the incoming missiles, successfully shooting down some of them. According to military sources, the damage caused by the airstrike was mainly at the material level, which undoubtedly saved some face for the Syrian military. However, the panic and anxiety caused by the air raids could not be dissipated in a short period of time.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps advisers are rumored to have been killed in the attack, and Iranian reactions have been mixed
It is noteworthy that during the attack, there was information that Saeed Ali Dadi, an adviser to the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was tragically killed. This news has not yet been officially confirmed, but it has already caused quite a stir in Iran and Syria. The Iranian side reacted to this with mixed reactions, with some **and** expressing condolences for DADI and condemnation of Israel, while others remained silent or denied it.
The presence of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria has been a sensitive and important topic in recent years. They played an important role in the Syrian civil war and provided critical military support to the Syrian army. However, this has also made them a target for countries such as Israel. Several members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been killed in numerous Israeli attacks on Syria over the past two months.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has been accused of retreating in Syria, but the veracity of the information has been questioned
On the same day as the attack, information emerged that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was retreating from Syria. Reuters, citing five sources, said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "has significantly reduced its presence of senior military officers in Syria as a result of a series of deadly Israeli attacks and will rely more on ally Shiite militias to maintain their influence there." "If true, this news will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the situation in Syria.
However, there are also ** who have questioned the authenticity of this news. Al-Mayadeen TV, citing reliable sources, said: "Iranian advisers are asked not to take their families with them when they are in Syria." This seems to imply that the Iranian side has no intention of completely withdrawing from Syria. Al-Mayadeen also added: "These rumors are part of an exaggeration, given the ongoing Israeli attacks on Syria, mainly against Iranian IRGC officers." This makes the truth of the whole affair even more confusing.
Israel's tensions with Syria and Iran are likely to continue to escalate
The Israeli airstrikes on Damascus have undoubtedly heightened tensions in the region. The Israeli side seems intent on weakening Syrian and Iranian influence in the region in this way. Syria and Iran, on the other hand, are under tremendous pressure and challenge, and need to find a way out of this complex game.
Looking ahead, tensions between Israel and Syria and Iran are likely to continue to escalate. Israel is likely to continue to use military means to strike its adversaries in the region, while Syria and Iran are likely to seek more support and assistance to meet the challenge. At the same time, the international community also needs to play an active role in this crisis and promote all parties to resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, so as to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
