 A military source affiliated with the Damascus forces reported on virtual communication sites, “At approximately 15:10 this afternoon, the Zionist enemy carried out an air aggression with two missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus. Our air defense forces confronted the aggression and shot down one of the missiles, and the losses were limited on material things.”

Al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the Damascus government, reported that a strong sound was heard in Damascus and smoke appeared in the sky at a low altitude, while the local Sham FM radio indicated that there were reports of an aggression targeting the Bahdalia area in Sayyida Zeinab in the Damascus countryside, with no information received about any casualties until the moment.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that explosions sounded in the Damascus countryside at dawn today, as a result of new Israeli air strikes within Syrian territory.

SOHR indicated that the targeting “was at sites and warehouses belonging to Iranian-backed groups, in an area located between Moadamiyat al-Qalamoun and Qatayfa in the Damascus countryside,” while the air defenses of the Damascus forces attempted to confront the raids, and the sounds of violent explosions were heard after the air strikes.

The Observatory confirmed that there were deaths as a result of the Israeli targeting, noting that the area includes many military headquarters and weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah.
