CAIRO: Israel launched “several missiles” from the Golan Heights targeting the vicinity of Syria’s capital Damascus, leaving two soldiers injured and “few material damage”, Syrian state media reported on Thursday, citing the military source.
The Syrian air defences confronted the missiles and “shot down some of them,” the source added.
Iranian-linked targets in Syria
For many years, Israel has been mounting attacks on what it has described as Iranian-linked targets in Syria. Tehran-backed forces, including also Lebanon’s Hezbollah, have established a presence since deploying to help President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war in 2011.
