The incident was described as “Israeli aggression” by the state-owned Syrian news channel.
Explosions were heard over Syria’s capital of Damascus as Syrian air defense systems were activated against what were called “hostile targets,” the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
State media organization SANA reported that “Syrian air defense has intercepted hostile targets over the capital Damascus.” The incident was described as “Israeli aggression” by the state-owned Syrian news channel. No injuries were reported in the incident.
SANA added that the Syrian air defenses intercepted the missiles and downed most of them and that only material damages were reported.
The IDF has not yet issued a statement or response about the alleged incident.
Just three weeks ago, an alleged Israeli airstrike left three people dead. Syrian media also then said the country’s air defense systems had been activated and intercepted “hostile targets.”
About a month ago, two separate attacks, attributed to Israel, took place in southwest Syria on the same day.
This is a developing story.
