Syria: Syrian army says air defenses intercepted Israel aggression over Damascus
Syria’s army said on Monday the country’s air defenses intercepted an “Israeli aggression” over the capital, Damascus, in the latest stepped-up bombing of Iranian targets inside the country.
State media did not give details of what was hit by the Israeli air force in the latest strikes by Israel against Iranian-backed military targets inside the country in the past two months.
Israeli military planes flew over the Golan Heights to hit select targets on the edge of the capital, an army statement said, without mentioning casualties but adding that air defenses downed most of the missiles.
“Our air defenses are continuing to repel the Israeli missile attacks over the skies of the capital,” the Syrian army said in a statement.
