Israel Attacks Targets in South of Damascus, Syria Says
Israel carries out the attack using surface-to-surface missile causing some material damage but no casualties
Israel had attacked several targets south of Damascus, resulting in some material damage, Syria’s Defense Ministry said Thursday.
The ministry quoted a source in the Syrian army as saying that the attack was carried out using a surface-to-surface missile launched from the Golan Heights.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the attack targeted a building where a meeting of unknown military officials was held.
SANA news agency reported that the missile was launched at the town of Zakia. No casualties were reported in the attack.
Last week Syria launched an anti-aircraft missile that penetrated Israeli territory and exploded in the air. This, according to reports in Syria, was in response to an Israeli attack in the Damascus area.
Alarms were activated in the Umm al-Fahm area and in the northern West Bank, and the rocket fragments fell in the Jenin area.
In response to the shooting, the IDF attacked a number of targets in the Syrian army’s surface-to-air missile array, including radar and anti-aircraft batteries that fired missiles at Air Force aircraft.
