An Israeli bombardment targeted a military site in Damascus countryside
On Wednesday morning, official Syrian media reported that explosions were heard in the vicinity of the capital, Damascus.
“Israeli bombing”
“Syrian air defense media are confronting hostile targets in the skies around Damascus,” SANA said.
While a military source told Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath that the Israeli bombardment targeted a military site in the vicinity of the Al-Kiswah area in the countryside of Damascus.
Hundreds of airstrikes
Since the outbreak of the conflict in Syria in 2011, the region has witnessed tensions from time to time, as shells sometimes fall on the Israeli side, which responds to them.
Over the past years, Israel has launched hundreds of air raids in Syria, including Syrian army sites and Iranian and Hezbollah targets, some of which are in this region.
Israel rarely confirms the implementation of the strikes, but it repeats that it will continue to confront what it describes as Iran’s attempts to establish its military presence near its borders.
