Hezbollah chief says Syrian military fired 55 missiles into occupied Golan Heights

BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:00 A.M.) – According to Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Syria fired 55 missiles into the occupied Golan Heights, not the 20 that was previously claimed by the Israeli authorities.

“For the first time ever, the occupation posts in occupied Golan were targeted with such a bombardment. Israel said that only 20 rockets were fired some of which were downed, but the truth is that 55 rockets, some of which of heavy-caliber, were fired at a number of military posts, creating huge explosions, which forced all residents in Golan and some in north Israel to scramble to bomb shelters in panic,” Sayyed Nasrallah stated.

The leader of Hezbollah stressed that the missile strike was one of the responses to Israeli actions in Syria.

Nasrallah also added that reports of the death of 23 Iranian and Syrian military as a result of Israel’s latest air strikes against Syria are not true.

According to the secretary general, Israeli strikes caused minimal damage to the pro-Iranian forces inside the country.
