Syrian army claims Israel struck targets near Damascus in overnight raids
|
 [Independent] Syria's army stated that its air defenses had hit an Israeli aircraft and had intercepted some rockets fired at Syrian targets with their weapons storage buildings. The Israeli Air Force struck Syrian military positions east of Damascus in a series of overnight raids, the Syrian army said Tuesday.
In a statement by Syrian state news agency SANA, Israel jets flying inside Lebanese airspace fired several missiles towards the al-Qutaifa area at around 2:40 in the morning on Tuesday causing damage near the military site. According to the statement by the General Command, the regime's air defenses intercepted the missiles and hit one of the planes.
Israel is also said to have fired two surface-to-surface missiles from the Golan Heights at 3:04 AM and another four missiles from around the area of Tiberias. The Syrian army statement claimed that all missiles were intercepted but that some damage was caused as a result of the interception.
"The Israeli aggression affirms again the support of the occupying entity to terrorist organizations in Syria and its desperate attempts to raise their morale after the painful blows they received in Harasta in eastern Ghouta in Damascus countryside and the sweeping victories the Syrian Arab Army is achieving in Idlib," read the army statement said.
Local sources reported the sounds of explosions near long-range missile warehouses and other military compounds in the town of Qutayfah, the news website Qasioun reported.
