Israeli fighter jets launched four cruise missiles and 16 guided bombs during the August 25 attack on Syria, Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria, said on August 26.
The main target of the attack was a complex of the Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) near the town of Masyaf in the western countryside of Hama. The center is Syrias main military research and development body. It is also involved in the manufacturing of advanced weapons, like precision-guided missiles.
Four Israeli Air Force F-16 tactical fighter jets fired four cruise missiles and 16 guided aerial bombs toward targets at the SSRC in Masyaf from 7:16 pm to 7:30 pm on August 25 from the eastern Mediterranean, Yegorov said at a news conference.
