KABOOM!...
s near Damascus early Friday, Syrian state media claimed, and sounds of explosions were heard in central Israel shortly after.
The blast was caused by a Syrian air defense missile that traversed Israeli skies before exploding over the Mediterranean Sea, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Incoming rocket warning sirens were not sounded, in keeping with the military’s policy of not triggering alarms for projectiles headed toward unpopulated areas.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in Israel.
"This morning, residents of central [Israel] found a number of missile fragments on the ground. The fragments were collected by the Israel Police. We thank the residents for their conscientiousness, and we ask them to not touch these fragments," the military said in a statement.
Syria reported that missiles fired from the direction of Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...targeted Damascus, but claimed most were shot down by its air defenses.
Most. That means Israel won the exchange.
A short time later, residents near Tel Aviv reported hearing at least one blast — the sound of the surface-to-air missile exploding over the sea. Syrian air defense missiles have in the past accidentally shot down a Russian military plane and have also reached Cyprus in error.The IDF did not comment on the alleged strikes in Syria, as per its policy.
Video published by SANA purported to show an air defense missile being had gun sex. A blast could be heard shortly after.
The video at the link is singularly uninspiring.
