(Zaman Al Wasl)- New satellite pictures for the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes on Mezzeh airport near Damascus on September 2 showed how the Air Force Intelligence site had been reduced to rubble, refuting regime reports of 'electrical fault’ as reason for the explosions.
The strikes hit the building of the Raids Branch in the airport which is believed to house Syrian Air Force intelligence and also is believed to house Iranian officers.
The Syrian regime denied reports that a series of blasts at Mezzeh military airport were from Israeli airstrikes.
The loud blasts were caused by an explosion at a munitions dump, Sana news agency said, citing Syrian military sources.
The incident was the result of an electrical fault, the agency added.
Israel has launched airstrikes against Syria in the past and was accused of targeting Mezzeh airport last year.
