Syria Says Army Intercepts ‘Israeli’ Missiles near Damascus
Local Editor
Syrian air defenses intercepted at least two ‘Israeli' missiles fired at a government military position in Damascus province early Saturday but the attack still caused damage, state media reported.
Meanwhile, an ‘Israeli' military spokesman declined to comment.
"At half past midnight [22:30 GMT Friday], the ‘Israeli' enemy fired several surface-to-surface missiles at a military position in Damascus province," the state SANA news agency reported.
"The air defenses of the Syrian army were able to deal with the attack... destroying two of the missiles," it said, adding that the attack nonetheless caused "material damage".
For its part, the Zionist entity has acknowledged carrying out repeated air and missile strikes in Syria since the outbreak of the bloody war six years ago.
It has also systematically targeted Syrian positions.
The Zionist entity seized 1,200 square kilometers of the Golan Heights from Syria in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognized by the international community.
