Israeli jets said to strike targets south of Damascus for second time this week

[IsraelTimes] Syrian military official claims country’s air defenses managed to thwart most of attack but says civilian injured, material damage caused

Israeli planes reportedly carried out a series of strikes south of Damascus early Friday morning.

A Syrian military official told state media that the county’s air defense systems managed to thwart most of the attack, but that the strikes caused one civilian injury as well as material damage.

The "Israeli aggression" began at around 4 a.m. with several projectiles being fired from the Golan Heights toward southern Damascus, Syrian state media reported

It was the second air raid attributed to Israel this week. Late Monday night, Syrian state media reported that Israeli missiles targeted Syrian army positions also south of Damascus, causing damage but no casualties.

A Twitter account tracking Israeli military activity in Syria claimed the strikes targeted sites in the suburb of al-Kiswah, south of Damascus, and near the Damascus International Airport, southeast of the city. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported similar information. The claims could not immediately be independently verified.

There was no comment on the strike from Israel, which rarely publicizes such attacks.
