DAMASCUS, Feb 15 (NNN-SANA) – Israel launched a missile attack on Syrian military sites, around the capital Damascus, in the early hours of Monday (today), causing the Syrian air defences to respond.
The new strikes were conducted from over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and targeted military sites in the surroundings of Damascus, said a military source, adding that, the air defences intercepted most of the missiles.
No further details were given about the attack, which was clearly heard in Damascus, as the air defence missiles were fired to intercept the Israeli missiles.
The Israeli assault is the latest in a string of attacks targeting military sites in Syria, under the pretext of striking Iranian targets in Syria.
The last Israeli attack was carried out on Feb 3, when Israel fired surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles, at targets in southern Syria, with no reports about casualties and damage.– NNN-SANA
