[NPASyria] Two soldiers of Syrian government forces were injured on Wednesday at dawn in Israeli airstrikes that targeted the vicinity of the Syrian capital of Damascus. Material damage was recorded. State-run SANA news agency said, citing a military source, that around 12:25 midnight, the “Israeli aggression” carried out several airstrikes from Golan Heights targeting particular sites in the vicinity of Damascus. The Golan Heights have been occupied by Israel since 1967 and were officially annexed in 1981. The United States recognized Israeli sovereignty over Golan in 2019. Most of the international community considers it an illegal occupation. Government’s Air Defense Forces intercepted the missiles and shot down most of them, according to SANA. "Most" being a vague number between "many" and "zero"
Israel has intensified strikes on Syrian airports and air bases in recent months to disrupt Iran’s increasing use of aerial supply lines to deliver arms to allies in Syria and Lebanon, including Hezbollah. | |
