The Israeli Air Force revealed on Thursday that it has conducted a surgical strike in Syria. The Israeli Air Force said it was one of its most difficult and daring missions, codenamed Operation Many Ways. In which 120 commandos of special forces entered Syria and destroyed an underground missile factory funded by Iran.
Israel said that this secret and important operation was carried out on September 8. According to media reports, the missiles made in this missile factory of Iran were used by Hezbollah and Syria’s Assad government. The factory that was attacked was known as the Center for Scientific Studies and Research and Deep Layer; Which was situated on a hill near the Syrian capital Aleppo.
This factory was about 200 kilometers away from the Israeli border in Syria. This factory was very important for supplying weapons to Hezbollah. Not a single Israeli soldier died in this operation. Now, after the ouster of the Assad government from power in Syria, the details of this operation have come to light.
The capacity of the factory was to make 100 to 300 missiles.
The Israeli Army was aware of this Iranian missile factory since 2017. Israel could not carry out air strikes here due to being surrounded by land. Rocket missile engines were made in this factory. The capacity of the factory was to produce 100-300 missiles annually. The place where this factory was located was near Lebanon. The missiles were manufactured in a Syrian factory and sent to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
There was a factory 100 feet below ground
Construction of Iran’s missile factory began in 2017 following an Israeli attack on an above-ground rocket engine manufacturing site at the Center for Scientific Studies and Research in Jamraya, Syria. The attack forced Iran to move its operations underground to protect its missile production capabilities from future air attacks.
