Syria’s state-run Sana News Agency reported that Israeli forces launched another missile strike on the southern suburbs of the Syrian capital, Damascus, in the early morning of the 4th (local time), killing two civilians and damaging a lot of property.
Residents of Damascus said they heard a series of powerful explosions in the south of the city that day. Syrian state television reported that Syrian air defenses had neutralized much of “Israel’s sinking”.
According to state television reports, citing unnamed sources of military officers, one civilian was killed near Damascus and one in southern Syria. Some of the missiles were shot down without reaching their targets by Syrian Air Force air defenses. However, instead of the loss of life, it caused a lot of property damage.
The so-called “shadow war” Israel is waging against Iran in Syria has carried out four airstrikes in the capital city of Damascus in recent days and also bombed the province of Homs, killing two officers who have been advisers to the Iranian army since last week. .
After conducting airstrikes in central Syria on Sunday, the 2nd, the Israeli military also announced that they had only shot down a “flying object” that had crossed Syria and invaded Israeli airspace. He also argued that Iran must have been behind the drone shot down in Israeli airspace.
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes over government-held areas in northern Syria in recent years. Although they attacked Damascus and Aleppo airports, they rarely admitted that it was a special operation by the Israeli army.
Israel says Iran-linked armed groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, have only attacked military installations in Syria. Hezbollah has sent thousands of troops to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government forces.
However, Israel is bombing not only Syrian airports but also ports, claiming that the operation is to prevent the importation of Iranian weapons to pro-Iranian armed groups in Syria, such as Hezbollah.
