Syrian media reported last night (Monday) that air defense systems intercepted an air missile attack carried out by Israel in the Damascus area. A military source in Syria was quoted as saying, “The Israeli enemy fired missiles from the direction of Ryak in Beirut with the aim of hitting several points around Damascus,” adding that significant damage was done.
As you may recall, about a week ago, Syrian and Russian planes toured the airspace near the border with Israel, and according to various reports, the Syrians intend to make these flights regular. The tour route, which included fighter jets, bombers and advanced Sukhoi planes, included the Golan Heights and the border line with Israel.
Beyond that, last night, air defense systems in the Abu Dhabi area were activated and intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis in Yemen at UAE territory, the emirate defense minister said. This, during President Yitzhak Herzog’s historic visit to the country.
