Iran baut Raketenfabrik in Syrien
New imagery released by imageSat, which operates Israel’s EROS-B satellite, reportedly show the first ever Scud missile factory being built inside war-torn Syria.
The pictures,taken in Banias district near Latakia on the Syrian-government controlled coastline, resemble a missile plant in Tehran, according to Israeli media reports.
Experts said that the sophisticated construction of the facility could not have been undertaken without Iranian experts operating inside Syria.
The experts told Channel 2 that they believe the facility, on which work began at some point last year, has both production and underground storage capabilities of long-range missiles which are capable of striking Israel. They believe it will be completed by the end of 2017.
Iran and the allied Lebanese Hezbollah militia have sworn the destruction of the Jewish state.
