DAMASCUS, Oct 22 (NNN-SANA) – Israel launched, last night, a missile attack against sites around Syria’s capital, Damascus, a statement from the Syrian military said.
The Syrian air defences were triggered by the attack and intercepted many of the missiles, said the statement, adding, the attack only caused property damage.
Meanwhile, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), said, the Israeli attack hit military sites in the vicinity of the Damascus International Airport, and in the south-western countryside of the capital.
So far this year, Israel has carried out 26 missile strikes against military sites in Syria. The last Israeli attack was carried out on Sept 17.
The SOHR says, Israel usually strikes military facilities, where pro-Iran militias are present, or targets weapon shipments of the Lebanese Hezbollah fighters.
