s in the Syrian capital Damascus shortly after midnight on Friday, for the second night in a row, according to Syria’s state-run media outlet.
The state news agency SANA reported that Syria’s air defenses intercepted the "hostile missiles" over the capital, though the "aggression" managed to cause some material damage. Damascus regularly claims to successfully intercept IDF strikes, but military analysts doubt these assertions.
There were no immediate reports of injuries in the strike.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the strikes targeted an arms depots for government forces and Iran-backed groups just south of Damascus.
Footage circulating on social media showed explosions in the sky, apparently from Syrian air defense missiles.
Less than 24 hours earlier, SANA said that the IAF targeted sites in Damascus, wounding two soldiers and causing material damage. The conditions of the two soldiers were not immediately clear. In recent years, numerous Syrian soldiers serving in air defense units have been killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Thursday and Friday’s alleged airstrikes came after two attacks in recent weeks against the Aleppo International Airport, also attributed to Israel. Those attacks temporarily closed the airport’s runway.
One of the strikes last week also targeted an underground munitions depot at the adjacent Nairab military airport, according to two unnamed "regional intelligence sources" who spoke to the Rooters news agency. The sources said the site was used to store missile-guided systems that had been delivered by Iranian cargo flights.
