Israeli envoy says Iran has recruited 80,000 Shiite fighters in Syria
2018-04-27
[Ynet] Israel's envoy to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
said on Thursday that Iran had recruited at least 80,000 Shiite fighters which it was training at a base just over five miles from Damascus.

Holding up a map, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon told the Security Council that Iran had set up a training base just over five miles from Damascus.

"What you can see here is Iran's central induction and recruitment centre in Syria. There are over 80,000 Shia turbans in Syria under Iranian control. It is at this base, just over five miles from Damascus, where they are trained to commit acts of terror in Syria and across the region," Danon said.
The Times of Israel has a good deal more of what Ambassador Danon said.
