According to the statement, the air strikes targeted a site belonging to Islamic Jihad on the outskirts of Damascus, which is a significant anchor of the Islamic Jihad’s operations in Syria. At the site, the organization conducts research and development of weapons, adapting them to production in the Gaza Strip and to local production in Syria.
In addition, tens of pounds of AP, a material used as a rocket fuel, are manufactured at this site, and technical training courses for terrorists are held there, both from the Gaza Strip and from the northern arena.
