Israel Strikes Military Sites In Syria

Strikes

DAMASCUS, May 29 (NNN-SANA) – Israeli war jets launched an overnight attack on military sites in the Syrian capital, Damascus, last night, causing damage only, the Syrian military said, in a statement.

The Israeli strike was made from over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which has triggered the Syrian air defences, said the statement.

It added that, some of the missiles had been intercepted.

Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said, Israel launched two waves of missile attacks on military sites in the vicinity of Damascus.

The Britain-based watchdog group said, the attack targeted an air defence base, and military sites in the Hameh area, in the countryside of Damascus, as well as, the vicinity of the Damascus International Airport.

With the latest attack, the Israeli regime has attacked Syria 17 times, since the beginning of this year, killing 48 military personnel and wounding 28 others.

For years, the Israeli regime has carried out attacks against, what it has described as, targets for Iran-backed Shiite fighters in Syria, hitting airports and military bases, that the regime alleged, to house weapon shipments for the Iran-linked fighters.
