[REGNUM] Syria repulsed missile attack near Damascus
Explosions are heard in the Syrian capital Damascus. The State Broadcasting Agency reported Israeli aggression.
According to media reports, a missile attack was repelled near Damascus. RIA Novosti reported explosions in the capital and partial destruction of a residential building in the south of the city due to shelling.
"Air defense systems counteract Israeli air aggression over Damascus," the Syrian broadcasting agency noted.
As REGNUM reported earlier, a drone was shot down in Syria earlier, which, according to the US Department of Defense, conducted reconnaissance in the area of an American military base. The aircraft was, presumably, of Iranian production.

on the Kafar Sousah neighborhood in Damascus.
Citing a police source, SANA says the casualties are "a result of the Israeli aggression on residential neighborhoods in Damascus."
Footage from the scene shows heavy damage to the area.
Syria says 5 killed, 15 wounded in Israeli strike on Damascus residential area
[IsraelTimes] Heavy damage inflicted to buildings in Kafar Sousah neighborhood; state-run news agency says victims mostly civilians
The Israeli Air Force carried out a strike late Saturday night targeting a residential neighborhood in Damascus, killing five people and leaving 15 others hurt, Syria’s state news agency SANA reported.
There was no comment from the Israel Defense Forces, in line with its policy of not generally commenting on air raids in the country.
SANA, citing a military source, said four civilians and one soldier were killed, and another 15 civilians were maimed in the strike on the Kafar Sousah neighborhood in the Syrian capital. It said several of those maimed were listed at death's door.
Some unconfirmed Syrian media reports put the corpse count higher.

...KABOOM! ...
also inflicted heavy damage to a number of residential buildings in Kafar Sousah, SANA said.
Images and video from the Damascus neighborhood showed heavy damage to several buildings.
SANA claimed Syrian air defenses managed to intercept "most" of the missiles launched by IAF jets from over the Golan Heights in the strike. Syria regularly claims to intercept Israeli missiles, though military analysts doubt such assertions.
Footage from northern Israel appeared to show a Syrian air defense missile exploding over the Golan Heights.
Orient News, a Syrian opposition media outlet claimed the strikes targeted Iranian militia officials at the so-called Iranian school in Kafar Sousah.
Separately, the Israeli jets targeted Iranian and Syrian regime military sites near the Damascus International Airport, as well as in Sitt Zaynab and al-Kiswah, a town and a city just south of the capital, Orient News said.
The outlet also claimed the damage to the residential buildings in Kafar Sousah was caused by a misfired Syrian anti-aircraft missile.
As a rule, Israel’s military does not comment on specific strikes in Syria, but has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade.
Last week, the Saudi-owned Elaph news site cited an Israeli military official as saying if Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
ships weapons to its regional proxies under the guise of humanitarian aid to Syria following the major earthquake there, the IDF would not hesitate to strike.
The unnamed official said "there is information indicating that Iran will take advantage of the tragic situation in Syria" and ship weapons to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups in Syria.
Several Iranian cargo planes carrying aid have landed in Syria since a major earthquake struck the country and areas in southeast The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
on February 6.
In recent years, several airstrikes against alleged Iranian weapon shipments disguised as seemingly harmless products have been attributed to Israel, including one incident last month.
Generally, relatively large weapons are thought to be smuggled via Syria on Iranian cargo airlines, which frequently land at Damascus International and the Tiyas, or T-4, airbase, outside of the central Syrian city of Palmyra.
The weaponry is then believed to be stored in warehouses in the area before being transported to Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch...
An Israeli rocket strike early on Sunday hit a building in central Damascus's Kafr Sousa neighbourhood near a large, heavily guarded security complex close to Iranian installations, killing five people, witnesses and officials said.
The rare, targeted strike damaged several buildings in the densely populated district close to Omayyad square in the heart of the capital, where multi-storey security buildings are located within residential areas.
