Syria demands Iran not to retaliate Israeli attacks form Syrian soil
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Syrian officials asked Iran to stop attacking Israel from Iranian bases on Syrian territory in order to avoid an “all-out war.”
This came in an Iran-led alliance meeting that was held a year ago.
Officials from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah and Al-Quds Force branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) met in the meeting to discuss how to respond to Israeli strikes carried out in Syria against Iranian interests, I24News reported.
On June 10, Israel targeted the International Airport of Damascus thwarting about 70% of Iranian arms shipments.
“During the discussion, Syrian officials reportedly asked Iran and its proxies not to carry out attacks against Israel from its territory,” according to the I24News.
Iran-led axis started launching attacks against bases of the US in Syria in an attempt to make the US “pressure Israel into halting its strikes on Syria,” according to the report.
On August 24, Iranian-backed militias targeted a base of the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in al-Omar Oil Field, east of Deir ez-Zor, with several rockets.
Hours later, the US troops in northeastern Syria launched rocket attacks at posts of Iranian-backed militants, destroying three vehicles and military equipment used to launch the rockets.
On August 15, Israeli airstrike targeted military posts of Syrian government forces in Tartus and Rif-Dimashq Governorates, killing three members and wounding three others.
