/ The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Friday that a missile attack targeted sites of the Lebanese Hezbollah and armed factions linked to Iran in the capital, Damascus, noting that Israel denied responsibility for the attack.
The observatory stated in a statement on its website, which was viewed by Agency, that “violent explosions were heard in the capital Damascus and its surroundings, resulting from a new targeting of Syrian territory, as the Mezzeh Military Airport area was targeted west of the capital Damascus, and there are sites belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian militias there.”
He pointed out that “the regime’s air defenses tried to intercept the missiles, and the remains of one of the air defense missiles fell on a house in the vicinity of Sayyida Zeinab, south of the capital Damascus, while no information has been received about human and material losses so far.”
The observatory quoted sources as saying that a cargo plane arrived at the Mezzeh military airport a few hours before the attack, adding that Israeli sources denied Israel’s responsibility for this attack.
Mourning councils were held in both the Damascus countryside and Deir ez-Zor for the leader of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, “Abu Baqir al-Saaji”, who was killed in a bombing carried out by an American drone that targeted his car east of the capital, Baghdad, two days ago.
