Israel Targets Area outside Syrian Capital in Missile Strike
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syria’s state TV reported a missile attack on the Damascus countryside, blaming the Tel Aviv regime for the aggression.
Outside of the capital, the strike is said to have caused some damage.
Citing a military source, the Syrian state-run SANA news agency reported that the attack took place early on Wednesday.
“A number of missiles” were launched from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, and hit an area near the town of Zakia in the countryside west of Damascus, according to the report.
The raid resulted in “some material losses,” the agency said, without specifying the extent of the damage.
The Israeli regime’s military has neither confirmed, nor denied the reported raid.
Israel airplanes routinely violate the Syrian skies and rain down missiles on the Syrian territory. Many of these cross-border strikes result in injuries and casualties on the Syrian side. Two Syrian soldiers were injured in an Israeli missile strike conducted just over the weekend. The projectiles were launched from the West Bank, prompting Damascus to activate its air defense systems. Several missiles were intercepted in mid-air.
