Syria says 4 soldiers killed, 3 hurt in Israeli strike near Damascus
|
[IsraelTimes] Attack would be the 3rd in Russia-dominated airspace in under a month despite tensions over Ukraine; state media says surface-to-surface missiles launched from northern Israel
Four Syrian soldiers were killed and three were hurt in an Israeli strike in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning near the capital Damascus, Syria’s state media said.
It was the third alleged Israeli attack in Syria this month.
The state-run broadcaster said Syrian air defenses responded to the Israeli attack. "Our air defenses confronted an Israeli aggression over the outskirts of Damascus," the SANA news agency said.
Syrian state media quoted an unidentified Syrian military official as saying surface-to-surface missiles were fired from northern Israel at military positions near Damascus.
The official claimed most of the Israeli missiles were shot down and that the Syrian military was still looking into the "results of the aggression."
The Syrian military claims to shoot down incoming missiles after nearly every alleged Israeli strike, which Israeli military officials and civilian defense analysts largely dismiss as empty boasts.
SANA released a video claiming to show an air defense missile streaking through the night sky.
In a later statement, the broadcaster said four soldiers were killed, three were hurt, and "some material losses" were caused.
Syria reported two other Israeli attacks near Damascus earlier this month, including a rare daytime Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
Separately, an Israeli military drone crashed in Syria on Tuesday. The Israeli Defense Forces said the incident was being investigated. No sensitive information was lost due to the crash and there was no risk of intelligence being taken from the device, the army said.
