In a new blatant aggression against the Syrian sovereignty, "Israel" launched air strikes at a Syrian military research facility in the Damascus countryside, local media report.
At 11:30pm Monday, Syrian "air defenses confronted an "Israeli" missile attack on one of our sites in the Damascus suburbs and three of the targets were downed," SANA reported, citing a military source which blamed Tel Aviv for launching repeated attacks against Syrian government's military installations in order to "lift the morale of the collapsed terrorists."
While details of the strike remain scarce, a government source told Sputnik that "Syria's air defense destroyed three of the six missiles that "Israel" launched at the Research Center in the suburbs of Damascus."
Witnesses have meanwhile told Reuters that three strong explosions were heard near the village of Jamraya, some 5 kilometers northwest of Damascus.
