#Syria|n State Media SANA confirms SyAAD engaging “hostile targets” over Southern Syria. Explosions being reported over the skies of #Damascus.
Unconfirmed video circulating social media of the reported SyAAD over #Damascus this evening. SyAAD is still active.
Additional footage reportedly from this evening of SyAAD.
Appears to be one visual confirmation of an interception over #Damascus, #Syria
Multiple videos are circulating of an interception, unclear if they are the same one or not, will video compare after. According to reports at least 3 interceptions have occured.
Shrapnel witnessed over #Damascus, #Syria after an interception by SyAAD
Quick and dirty timesync of (some) videos circulating from tonight appears to show that the interception videos are all from the same event.
Judging by the videos and the reports the guess is around Damascus Airport, considering the double stacking of aircraft today and the short time line from their arrival it would make sense whatever was targeted was “close by” as didn’t have time to move far.

Unconfirmed reports circulating of an "event" aboard the #Iran|ian SHAHR E KORD Vessel in the Eastern Med. AIS data via @MarineTraffic updated ~5 hours ago had her off the coast of Baniyas, #Syria. Photos circulating appear to confirm the vessel? it looks like a cargo fire.
additional photos of the vessel show the green/yellow paint scheme shown in the unconfirmed photos in the previous tweet, so they appear to align with the vessel.
I'm in the mindset that these were hazardous materials in the cargo container that have gone "pop", nothing more.
According to reports from #Gaza Nizar Awadallah will replace Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas in #Gaza
Nizar Awadallah has been present in the entourage that usually meets #Qatar|i, #Egypt|ian, and other delegations outwith #Gaza. He also played a key role in the Gliad Shalit deal in 2011.
Sat. Imagery shows the “Farm Land” Compound just slightly West of Al-Mayadin, #Syria affiliated to #Iran’s #IRGC which was targeted in the reported airstrikes by the #IDF on 13th Jan 2021. Two structures were targeted in this airstrike, but it appears there is more activity here.
The date of the tunnel excavation is unknown, due to this area being remote from imagery, it is not possible to say if the tunnels are post or pre strike.
All that can be confirmed is that they are after the 9th July 2020.
Pro-#Iran 14th Brigade of the #PMF, Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada are reportedly behind the attack against #Erbil, #Iraq after Haider Hamza Abbas al-Bayati, a reported member was arrested by Kurdistan Security Forces.
It is believed there was tight coordination between Al-Shuhada, Kata’ib Hezbollah and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba to conduct this attack.
CCTV footage circulating social media reportedly shows the vehicle used in the Ain Al-Assad attack moving through a checkpoint (left image) escorted by what appears to be a Hashd/PMU vehicle (right image)
At 0720 local time this morning at least 10 122mm rockets were fired at Ain Al-Assad Airbase, #Iraq. A local contractor reportedly died due to a heart attack because of the attack.
In September 2020 an attack against #Erbil Airport, #Iraq was conducted in similar fashion (two images included), the third image was shared by local militant media several weeks before of the suspected 122mm munition.
CRAM was active this morning and engaged several of the rockets, success rate is currently unknown and I’ll update accordingly. We can assume the intention of at least 10 rockets were to be fired from the launch vehicle due to the photo released.
