The official Syrian news agency said that an Israeli air aggression targeted military points in the Damascus countryside, and some missiles were shot down, causing some material damage.
Reuters news agency also quoted a statement issued by the Syrian Ministry of Defense that the Israeli missile bombardment targeted military targets outside the capital, Damascus, and resulted only in material damage, while the Syrian air defenses intercepted Israeli missiles and shot down some of them.
Last Sunday, the Syrian army announced that Israeli missiles targeted a number of points in the south of the country at dawn, wounding a Syrian soldier and causing material damage. Local reports and human rights sources said that the strikes targeted sites in the Damascus countryside, one of which was a weapons depot.
Since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, and the subsequent continuous Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, Israel has escalated its attacks in Syria, and also bombed the air defenses of the Syrian army and some Syrian forces.
Israel rarely comments on specific strikes, but has repeatedly said that it will not allow Iran to establish its military presence in Syria.
During the past years, Israel launched hundreds of air strikes in Syria, targeting mainly Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah targets, including warehouses and shipments of weapons and ammunition, as well as Syrian army sites.
