Syria shoots down drones near Damascus
A Syrian military source says Syria’s air defenses have shot down two drones that were launched from Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted a military source as saying that the country’s air defenses shot down two drones in the west of Damascus on Friday.
According to the report, the drones came from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
“At around 02:10 pm, two drones violated Syria’s airspace from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan. Our air defense systems confronted them, and they were downed in the west of Damascus,” the source said.
Earlier, Syrian media reported that the air defenses were responding to "hostile targets" in the vicinity of Damascus.
It was not clear who was behind the attack, but Israel has been using the occupied Golan Heights as a launchpad for its acts of military aggression against the Arab nation since it occupied the territory in 1967, when the regime launched a large-scale war against the regional Arab states, including Syria.
