Over dozens Daesh killed in Iran missile launches in Syria
The Islamic republic of Iran launched two ballistic missiles into Syria on Sunday, targeting Daesh (ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group in retaliation for its terror attacks in Tehran two weeks ago. These strikes are the first time that Iran has launched missiles since its 1980-1988 war with Iraq.
Some 50 Daesh terrorists, including several high-ranking commanders, were killed in one of the missiles hit their headquarters in Dayr al-Zawr, according to PressTV.
Six Libyan Daesh commanders were killed in the attack; two of whom have been identified as Abu Asim al-Libyai and Abdel Kader al-frani, better known as Abu Harith.
The war in Syria, which has now lasted longer than World War II, continues to metamorphose. The only thing that stays the same is that Syria remains an arena for regional and world powers fighting over status, image and influence.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on its official news website, Sepah News, that several “ground-to-ground, mid-range missiles” were fired from bases in Kermanshah province, western Iran.
On June 7, six gunmen mounted almost simultaneous assaults on Iran’s Parliament and the Mausoleum of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini in which at least 17 people had been killed.
