Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said today that Israel is attacking “everything related to missile manufacturing” in Syria, and it is the first time that Nasrallah reveals the nature of what Tel Aviv is bombing in the Syrian territories. Nasrallah emphasized that his party will not withdraw from Syria. Under the impact of Israeli air strikes.
The Hezbollah leader said in a televised speech that the Israelis see “missile manufacturing as a force for Syria and a force for the axis of resistance, no doubt.”
It is the first time that an entity allied to the Syrian regime and Iran acknowledges that Israel is targeting missile manufacturing sites on Syrian territory.
At least six attacks have been attributed to Israel in the past three weeks in Syria, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that some missile attacks killed Iranian fighters and their loyalists, and the observatory indicated that it had attacked the sites and groups of the Iranian forces loyal to them and arms depots.
Israeli officials have recently reiterated that their government will continue to respond to what it describes as Iran’s attempts to consolidate its military presence in Syria and to send advanced weapons to Lebanese Hezbollah.
Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett said last week that Tel Aviv would continue its operations in Syria until the departure of Iranian forces.

No withdrawal
Hassan Nasrallah said in his speech today that his party will not withdraw from Syria as a result of the Israeli attacks, considering that Tel Aviv is waging a “false battle” in Syria under the guise of preventing the Iranian military presence.
Nasrallah added: “There are only a number of Iranian military advisers and experts” in Syria, adding that their number “increases or decreases according to the needs of the field.”
He explained that Iranian military advisers play various roles, the main one of which is “to provide advice and assistance to the Syrian forces, and to administer groups of the Syrian, Arab and Islamic resistance forces, which train, equip and administer them in the existing battles. “as well as” coordination with resistance movements, including Hezbollah. “
Russia and Iran
On the other hand, Nasrallah denied that there is competition for influence in Syria between the two allies, Iran and Russia, and said that Iran “is not fighting a battle of influence with anyone, nor with Russia, regardless of what Russia is fighting, or only with Russia. “
Analysts and media reports occasionally talk about a power struggle between Moscow and Tehran, and a race to obtain investment contracts in several areas, especially reconstruction in a country devastated by nine years of war.
