| Israeli air strikes, rockets hit Syria: Syrian army | |
| 2018-01-10 | |
Israel's military has carried out several attacks on the Syrian army and its ally Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah since the start of the conflict in Syria in 2011. The Israeli air force conducted strikes on the Qutayfeh area northeast of Damascus, causing the Syrian army to retaliate and "hit one of its planes", the Syrian army said in a statement. Syrian air defences intercepted one rocket, but several more hit "near a military position, causing material damage," it added. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor, said the air strikes targeted Syrian army and Hezbollah weapon depots. The strikes sparked "successive kabooms and fires, causing material damage" in the depots, where land-to-land missiles have been stored among other weapons, the Observatory said. | |
