Syrian air defenses thwart Israeli aggression: SANA

Syria’s air defenses have thwarted an Israeli missile attack on southern Damascus, shooting down most of the missiles.

The Israeli missiles had flown over the Syrian Golan Heights before being shot down by the Syrian air defenses over the capital, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Wednesday night.

The Zionist regime missile strike was carried out at 11:10 pm local time, according to a military source.

The Syrian air defenses had thwarted last Wednesday another Israeli aggression on Damascus amid an upsurge in Israeli attacks on the Arab country.

SANA added that the Israeli assault, which was carried out on the southwestern town of al-Zabadani in the Rif Dimashq governorate, claimed the life of a Syrian soldier and left three others injured.

The illegal Zionist entity frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
