An Israeli
strike on Thursday hit an arms supply hub operated by the Lebanese Hezbollah
group near Damascus airport where regular supplies of weapons from
Tehran are
sent by commercial and military cargo planes, a regional intelligence source
said.
The depot
handles a significant amount of weapons that Tehran, a major regional ally of
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, sends regularly by air, the source who
requested anonymity said, without giving further details.
The source
said the arms depot gets a major part of the weapons supplied to an array of
Iranian backed militias, led by Hezbollah, which have thousands of fighters
engaged in some of the toughest fronts against Syrian rebels.
