Israel Bombs Syria, as US Continues to Smuggle Syrian Oil

Three soldiers have been killed and three more wounded in a new Israeli air
attack on the suburbs of Damascus on Sunday, a Syrian military source
confirmed to SANA news agency.

The missiles are said to have been fired at the Damascus area and Tartus
from Lebanese territory.

The country’s air defenses had engaged “hostile targets” over Tartus, SANA
reports.

On Friday, Israeli tanks wounded two civilians near the town of
al-Hamidiyah in the Golan Heights.

Last month, Israel killed eight people in airstrikes on the Damascus area,
including five civilians, and wounded seven others. According to SANA, the
missiles came from the Golan Heights.

Israel destroyed much of Damascus International Airport in June, forcing
the country to reroute flights through Aleppo as multiple runways, hangars
and a control tower were knocked out.

While Israel regularly bombs Syria, it avoids publicly acknowledging its
actions.

At the same time, Syrian state media said that the US has stepped up its
smuggling of Syrian oil, transferring 89 tankers of fuel into Iraq on
Saturday just hours after an earlier 60-tanker shipment crossed the border.

The Syrian Oil Ministry accused the US earlier this month of stealing a
whopping 83% of Syria’s daily oil production, imposing losses of $105
billion since the beginning of the war. Military convoys have been filmed
presumably smuggling Syrian oil into Iraq via illegal border crossings.
