Syrian air defence repels Israeli attack in south: State media
[AlJazeera] The Syrian military has thwarted an Israeli attack, shooting down several missiles in the south of the country, state media and Russia's Ministry of Defense said.

"Our air defence systems thwarted ... an Israeli air aggression ... and prevented it from achieving any of its goals," a military source told state news agency SANA on Sunday.

Russia's Ministry of Defense said in a Twitter post that the Syrian military destroyed seven Israeli rockets near Damascus airport.

Shortly after the incident, Israel's military said its Iron Dome missile defense system shot down a rocket that had been fired at the northern part of the occupied Golan Heights on the Syria frontier on Sunday.

The military statement did not specify where the rocket had been launched from. The northern Golan is also close to Lebanese territory.

War News Update opines:
At the same time of this attack a huge explosion occurred in Damascus near an intelligence building .... Syria: 'Huge explosion'' rocks Damascus (DW). More here .... 'Huge explosion' in Syria capital causes fatalities: monitor (AFP).
Repel doesn't mean after the fact.
A palpable point, that.

#2 a rocket was fired into Israel from Syria and the Iron Dome system shotit down - actual video evidence was available and shown, unlike the Syrian "successful" shootdown of Joooo Zionist projectiles. The huge explosion and destruction was probably Syrian propaganda blowing up
