​​​​​​​Israeli airstrikes on periphery of Damascus

 "At about twenty one o'clock in the morning today, the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack with a number of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus, and our air defenses intercepted missiles of the aggression and shot down some of them," military source told an agency affiliated with the Damascus government.

According to the agency, the shelling wounded two soldiers and caused some material losses.

For several years, Israel has launched attacks on what it describes as targets linked to Iran in Syria. Since the early years of the Syrian crisis, forces loyal to Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah have been deployed in several Syrian regions to support the forces of the Damascus government.

The last of these attacks was last week, when Aleppo International Airport in northern Syria was subjected to the second Israeli bombing during the month of March. As a result, the airport was put out of service for two days.
