1. It was Israel

Israel bombed a warehouse near Damascus International Airport Thursday that it believed to be an Iranian arms depot operated by the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah.

The dawn strike hit an arms cache where a significant amount of weapons are sent from Tehran by commercial and military cargo planes, Reuters reported, citing a regional intelligence source.

The depot is reportedly a major hub for a range of Iranian-backed militias including Hezbollah, that are fighting in support of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. The Lebanese paramilitary group has deployed thousands of its fighters to Syria to back the Assad regime during the course of the country’s six-year civil war.
