Syrian air defense systems said activated against ‘hostile target’
The report did not state if a strike on the capital had actually taken place. The incident came eight days after Syria said its air defenses destroyed an unspecified enemy target during an attempted  west of Damascus, as residents reported a series of loud kabooms around the Syrian capital.The pro-government al-Masdar news service said August 2 that air defenses fired several missiles to fend off an attack near the el-Kisweh region and that it was not clear if the Syrian missiles were fired at an aircraft, drone or incoming rockets. Israel has been blamed for previous attacks on a suspected Iranian military base in the el-Kisweh area. An attack in May killed at least nine Iranians. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-08-11 |
