Israel’s Channel 12 reported that this operation was carried out to disrupt Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) plan to make ballistic missiles and drones. According to the report, before the arrival of Israeli soldiers, Israel carried out airstrikes on the roads around the raid location, so that Syrian soldiers could not reach there. After this, Israeli soldiers reached the location in a helicopter. The soldiers landed on the Iranian weapons location with the help of a rope. They planted bombs after confiscating all the equipment and documents present there. During this time, many helicopters and drones were present nearby for their security. According to the Times of Israel, the Masyaf area of Syria has been used by the Iranian army and terrorist organizations supported by them for a long time. This area has also been attacked many times. Earlier, Israel had carried out an airstrike near the Iranian Embassy in Syria on April 1. In this, 13 people including two top army commanders of Iran were killed. What are chemical weapons? According to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), chemical weapons are weapons in which poisonous chemicals are deliberately used to kill or harm people. Military equipment that can weaponize dangerous chemicals can also be considered chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are so deadly that they can kill thousands of people in a moment and also force them to die slowly due to the effects of various diseases. Chemical weapons used on a large scale in the First World War have been destroyed. Last year, the Chemical Weapons Watchdog (OPCW) announced that the US was the last country to have these weapons and they have been destroyed. According to the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997, all the countries involved in it had to destroy all chemical weapons by the end of September 2023. In 2022, the last M55 rocket containing VX chemical weapons was destroyed in Kentucky.
