Dubious curiosity satisfied, despite the runway at #Damascus Intl. Airport, #Syria currently under refurb and closed per NOTAM A0208/21, imagery courtesy of @capellaspace confirms three impacts 600m’s each apart, reportedly from an #Israel|I airstrike in the early hours yesterday
This isn’t the first time this runway has been struck, and the area to the “bottom” of it, often associated to #IRGC activities. Personally, find this one more odd than usual, we’ve seen runways struck often in reported airstrikes and they take a matter of weeks to patch…
And considering the on going work, it’ll just delay them in their workplan.
Included, previous runway strike in #Damascus Airport.
Inital imagery via @sentinel_hub of #Natanz Nuclear Facility, #Iran shows no changes in the core area to suggest any form of explosion etc. Mountain area to the south checked as well, nothing there either.
@sentinel_hub Low resolution imagery is always a difficult one to interpret as there are larger variables that can come into consideration,but when it comes to damage from explosions they are usually more obvious, for example, the explosion at the IRGC base in September.
@sentinel_hub Another good example of when dark spots can be spotted on low resolution.
Lots of reports of an explosion in the vicinity of Natanz in the last hour, cause is currently unknown.
This image is circulating (left) social media with reports of the events, it’s an old image cropped from another older image (right)
Reports circulating social media outlets report the explosion was “in the sky” - which aligns with reports of air defense being the cause of the explosion, at the moment however, all these reports are unconfirmed.
It is rare for Hamas to be so open about their members involvements in these attacks, a shift in policy? Or was a direct decision from them to try instigate something, if so, why? This leaves a lot more questions to be answered in comparison to the “lone-wolf” attacks
Victims of the attack: 1. Eliyahu David Kay who was killed. 2. Rabbi Aharon Yehuda ben Tova who is in critical condition. 3. Rabbi Zeevi Katzenelbogen who is in stable condition and was shot in the arm where the bullet exited his Tefillin.
(1/2) An eyewitness on the ground spoke to us: "I was in the kitchen getting breakfast and all of the sudden me and the chef hear gun shots. We were shocked because it was at least 50 shots going off."
The remains of a projectile from last nights attempted assassination of #Iraq|i PM via drone. This was likely dropped from a quadcopter drone similar to what we’ve seen before in Iraq.
Previous imagery shows the Quadcopter in one instance and another event showing just the projectile.
Additional imagery from the second instance in the above tweet.
