Syria claims third Israeli strike in a week

Israeli missiles allegedly targeted sites in Syria’s capital city

Israel has launched airstrikes on Damascus, Syria in its third attack in the space of one week, Syrian state media reported.

Citing a military source, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) said the missile assault unfolded in the early hours of Thursday morning, though did not report any casualties in the attack. 

“The Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Palestinian territories, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus,” the source told SANA, adding that Syrian air defenses brought down most of the projectiles and that “losses were limited to material.”

SANA shared footage purporting to show the attack in progress, with a Syrian surface-to-air missile apparently intercepting an incoming munition mid-air and illuminating the night sky.

A similar video captured from another angle circulated on social media, also showing a bright flash over a dimly lit Damascus skyline.
