Syria Intercepts ‘Israeli’ Aggression Over Damascus, Casualties Reported

By Staff, Agencies

Syrian media reported that the country’s air defenses confronted a Zionist aggression over the capital Damascus, also reporting a number of casualties.

Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported early on Wednesday that the air defense units of the Syrian army had successfully intercepted the aggression from the ‘Israeli’-occupied Golan Heights over Damascus' airspace.

There were no official reports of damage or casualties, however, a Syrian military source told SANA that the assault had led to the martyrdom of three soldiers and the injury of another.

The Zionist military, meanwhile, confirmed in a rare statement that it had launched airstrikes on Syrian targets inside the Arab country.

The occupation regime frequently attacks military positions inside Syria.

The Arab country has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government said the Zionist regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
