(Zaman Al Wasl-Syria) Syrian air defense systems were paralyzed during Israeli strikes in Syria on Nov. 20 due to Iran's radar jamming stations, a source in the Syrian Air Defense Forces told Zaman al-Wasl. The source confirmed that some Syrian defense missiles exploded minutes after launch, causing many casualties. After the Israeli attack, Syria's air defense officers attributed their failure to Israeli jamming, but investigations revealed that three Iranian radar jammers were responsible. The three sites at Mount al-Manea near al-Kiswa, Tal al-Saroukhiya, and Tal al-Sultan near Sayyida Zeinab are controlled by Iran.
