COMMENT FROM THE SYRIAN OBSERVER
According to reports from opposition media, the strike was carried out in a single wave, resulting in the complete destruction of a weapons factory, without any other sites targeted. Five members of pro-Iranian militias who were protecting the factory, as well as a number of Iranian engineers working on developing weapons, were killed in the strike, according to the Sawt al-Asima Website.
On the other hand, loyalist social media accounts showed a residential building reportedly damaged by the strike. The photos showed a building near the factory and that the factory itself had been cordoned off by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
