Source Denies Story on Israeli Capture of Iranians in Syria


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An informed source dismissed the media stories alleging that the Zionist regime has captured two Iranians in Syria.

A number of Israeli media outlets have claimed that the Zionist military forces have raided several sites in Syria’s Masyaf in recent days and captured two to four Iranians.

Speaking to Tasnim on Thursday, an informed source categorically denied those stories.

“Basically, no Iranian force has been present in Syria in that claimed location (Masyaf), while that region was the location of presence of the Syrian Army. Therefore, the subsequent claim, namely harm to Iranian forces or them being captured, is a complete lie,” the source said.
