Syria’s official SANA news agency, citing an unnamed military source, reported that the Israeli enemy launched an aerial attack from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights at around 4:35 a.m. local time (0135 GMT) on Tuesday, targeting some sites on the outskirts of the capital Damascus.
The source added that there were no injuries in the strike, but there were material losses.
Another military official said that Syrian air defenses intercepted and shot down most of the incoming Israeli missiles.
The development came only a few hours after Israeli artillery units shelled areas in Syria’s southwestern province of Dara’a.
The Zionist forces stated in a statement that the attack was in response to several rockets fired from southern Syria into the Golan Heights.
Israel waged the bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance movement launched Operation al-Aqsa Storm in the occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s incessant crimes against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 21,978 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured some 57,700 others.
It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the coastal sliver, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of Resistance combatants, who have played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
