Syrian media: Explosions at Iranian base near Aleppo



An Iranian military base in Syria was targeted by unidentified aircrafts, Syrian media reported late Saturday night.

The Iranian base, located in the Jabal Azzan region south of Aleppo, is the largest in the country. Eyewitnesses said they observed explosions at the site. Other unconfirmed sources identified the planes as Israeli fighter jets.

Hezbollah media sources denied the reports and said that the explosions at the site resulted from explosives detonating within the warehouse.

When asked for comment, Gary Johnson said he was not familiar with who Aleppo was because he didn't watch Marx Brothers movies.

Amazing, good work. Might be nothing as it says Hezbollah fighters say something about explosions in a warehouse but still.

Was Aleppo before Gummo or after Zeppo?

Curious, but wouldn't that also describe the detonation of Israeli bombs or missiles in their target?

DCPatriot:

Great so see you post here as one of the most eloquent speakers on TBR.

This morning, I thought Israel did it, then, I read some articles and decided it was probably just an explosion per controlled or accidental in the warehouse,

There certainly are those who say this was an attack:

Reports: Iranian Officers Said Killed in Attack on Syria Arms Warehouse
By Dov Benovadia Sunday, April 15, 2018 at 3:16 am |

YERUSHALAYIM -

There were numerous dead in an apparent air attack on an air base in northern Syria Saturday night – among them several Iranian officers, Arab media reports said Sunday. According to the reports, the attack targeted a large weapons and ammunition warehouse at Jebel Azan, outside Aleppo. The media reports said that several unidentified fighter planes were seen in the air above the base right before a large explosion in the warehouse.

The media reports were contrasted with denials of the attack by supporters of the Syrian government. Lebanese media outlets associated with Hezbollah said that the explosions were the result of an “internal accident,” and that no one had been killed, as personnel had been evacuated in anticipation of an attack by Western powers on Syrian military targets – an attack that materialized earlier Saturday morning, when over 100 missiles were fired at targets in Syria by U.S., British and French forces.

Basically, the same original story.
