...KABOOM!...
s on areas near the Syrian capital Damascus shortly after midnight on Friday, killing three soldiers and wounding seven others, Syria’s official state media reported.

Heavy explosions were heard over both the Syrian capital and northern Israel, according to local reports.

The state-run broadcaster SANA, citing a military source, said most of the missiles launched from over the Golan Heights were intercepted.

Most. That’s like close, which only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, or so I’ve been told.

The Syrian military claims to shoot down incoming missiles after nearly every alleged Israeli strike, an assertion Israeli military officials and civilian defense analysts largely dismiss as empty boasts.

The military source also said damage was caused to the sites that were hit, without elaborating on the extent or the nature of the targets.

A site in the southern Damascus suburb of Sayyidah Zaynab was damaged, according to local media reports and images circulated on social media.

SANA reported the casualties in the airstrikes without specifying the ranks and identities of the killed and maimed.

There was no comment from the Israel Defense Forces, which does not comment on individual strikes, except for those in retaliation to specific attacks against Israel.

#3 Given that physics is a branch of philosophy, magpie...

Close also counts in kissing, Skidmark. If we’re going to extend the list, might as well go all the way, right?

Well, and mortar strikes of course.

#1 most of the missiles launched from over the Golan Heights were intercepted... by the ground, near or on top of the targets because of this thing called gravity, 100% chance of interception gravity has shown, you see.
