’Israel’ Strikes near Damascus Airport: In Line With Our Policy to Stop Arms Transfer to Hezbollah
Local Editor
As part of the continuous aggression against the Syrian sovereignty and in support of the collapsing terrorist groups, "Israel" waged a new attack against Damascus airport.
In details, a Syrian military source confirmed that
the military base southwest Damascus airport was subject to 'Israeli'
missiles launched from the occupied territories.
"The aggression won't hinder us from continuing to fight and crush terrorism," the source told official SANA news agency.
Earlier, the "Israeli" Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz confessed that the "incident" in the vicinity of Damascus International Airport is in line with Tel Aviv's policy to prevent Iran's advanced weapons from reaching Syria.
Katz told the ‘Israeli' Army Radio that "the incident in Syria corresponds completely with ‘Israel's' policy to act to prevent Iran's smuggling of advanced weapons via Syria to Hezbollah in Iran," according to Reuters.
The ‘Israeli' military declined to comment.
Meanwhile, conflicting unconfirmed reports emerged, suggesting either an airstrike or the bombing of a gas pipeline.
Asked if the Zionist army was involved in the incident, a spokeswoman for the ‘Israeli' military said: "We can't comment on such reports," said al-Manar as cited by Reuters.
Damascus International Airport was the country's busiest air hub before hostilities erupted in 2011. Since the onset of the Syrian war, most international airlines have ceased flights to Damascus.
The ‘Israeli' military is widely believed to have attacked Syria's anti-aircraft missile systems, but it rarely confirms such airstrikes.
