Also tonight (Thursday) extensive airstrikes by the Air Force are reported in Syria. About an hour after midnight, the Syrian air defense systems were activated and minutes later, reports began to arrive that the IDF was attacking targets in the capital, Damascus.
According to the official Syrian news agency, three soldiers were killed in the Israeli attack.
A Syrian military source told SANA that “around 1:10 a.m., the Israeli enemy carried out an airstrike using surface-to-air missiles fired from the direction of northern Tiberias, at several points near the city of Damascus. Our air defense system detected the missile fire and shot down most of them.” The source added that the aggression “led to the deaths of three soldiers and several material losses.”
Recall that yesterday Israel attacked a number of points in the Quneitra province, causing damage to the Syrian treasury building in the province.
