At least 4 servicemen were killed and 4 others injured in a new attack in Damascus suburbs, according to SANA
Syrian air defenses have been activated to intercept a volley of “hostile” projectiles in the vicinity of the country’s capital Damascus, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported early Monday morning.
Multiple explosions were heard in Damascus shortly after 2:20am, as at least one bright flash illuminated the skies according to an unverified video making rounds online.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an air attack from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus,” a military source told SANA.
Syrian air defenses allegedly brought down most of the projectiles, but the attack still “led to the death of four soldiers and the wounding of four others,” in addition to “limited material losses.”
Syria’s capital, as well as other locations across the country, routinely come under mysterious missile strikes. While the Syrian government and the Russian military present in the country often attribute such attacks to Israel, West Jerusalem rarely comments on its involvement.
