The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces announced that an armed terrorist group carried out a vicious assassination operation which claimed the lives of six pilots, one technical officer and three technical sub-officers of a military airbase, as they were passing Palmyra-Homs axis on Thursday afternoon.
In a statement issued on Friday, the General Command considered this direct targeting of the officers who were qualitatively trained in piloting modern military aircrafts and prepared to carry out the “sacred duty of liberating the land and restoring the usurped rights” as a “dangerous terrorist escalation.”
It added that this escalation exposes the real face of the plot which targets the structure of the Syrian Armed Forces with all its types and confirms foreign parties’ involvement in supporting these terrorist operations with the aim of undermining the qualitative combat capabilities of the Armed Forces.
The statement said the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces considers that the beneficiaries of this terrorist act are the enemies of the Homeland and the Nation, foremost being Israel.
“In this light, the General Command stresses the Armed Forces’ determination to carry out all tasks assigned to them and their permanent readiness to defend the security of the homeland and citizens, cut off the vicious hand that targets the Syrian blood and decisively confront all who threaten the homeland’s security and stability,” the statement concluded.
