Syrian Air Defenses Repel Israeli Attack on Damascus for Second Time this Week
News - Middle East: For the second time this week, Syrian air defenses early on Friday intercepted the missiles launched by the Israeli military at targets south of the capital Damascus, bringing down most of them.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, said Israeli warplanes fired several missiles from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights at some targets south of Damascus at around 4:20 a.m. local time (0120 GMT) Friday, but Syrian air defenses brought down most of them.
The source noted that the strike resulted in one civilian injury as well as some material damage.
The development came days after Israeli warplanes fired a number of missiles at areas in the southern countryside of Damascus.
The air raid on Monday was carried out from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points south of the city of Damascus, SANA cited an unnamed military source saying at the time, adding that the Syrian air defenses intercepted the projectiles and shot down most of them.
