Over the past years, Israel has launched hundreds of
airstrikes in Syria, targeting Syrian army sites, Iranian targets, and others
belonging to Hezbollah, including weapons and ammunition depots in various
areas, Addustour reported.
The Syrian News Agency, SANA, quoted a military source as
saying, "The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression from the direction
of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points southwest of
Damascus."
The airstrike resulted in "serious injuries to a
soldier and material losses," according to the source.
The source confirmed that "our air defense systems
intercepted and shot down some of the enemy missiles."
Israel rarely acknowledges carrying out strikes in Syria,
but it repeatedly emphasizes that it will continue to counter what it describes
as Iran's attempts to solidify its military presence in Syria.
Since 2011, Syria has been embroiled in a devastating
conflict that has resulted in the deaths of nearly half a million people,
caused immense infrastructure damage, and displaced millions of people both
inside and outside the country.
