DAMASCUS, Apr 22 (NNN-SANA) – Israel launched missile attacks on targets in the vicinity of the Syrian capital, Damascus, before daybreak today, wounding four soldiers, state TV reported.
The Israeli attack was launched from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, said the report, citing a military source. It added that, the Syrian air defences responded to the attack, destroying most of the missiles.
Residents in the capital heard the air defences’ firing, while tracing the Israeli targets in the sky.
Media said, the move was in response to the launch of a Syrian missile earlier in the day, which fell in the Negev desert, not far from Isreal’s Negev Nuclear Research Centre.
The previous Syrian attack set off air raid sirens in the village of Abu Qrenat, several kilometres away from Israel’s Negev Nuclear Research Centre, and triggered responses from the Israeli air defence force, according to media reports.– NNN-SANA
