DAMASCUS, Jan 7 (NNN-SANA) – The Syrian air defences responded to an Israeli missile attack, on the south of the capital, Damascus, last night.
The sounds of Syrian anti-air weapons were heard in Damascus, the report said.
A military source said, the Israeli attack was carried out from over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and targeted some military sites in south Damascus.
It added that, the Syrian air defences intercepted most of the Israeli missiles.
The Israeli attack is the latest to target military sites in Syria.
Israeli missiles hit a Syrian military base in the Zabadani suburb, west of Damascus on Dec 30, 2020, killing one Syrian soldier and wounding three others.
Earlier this month, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, Israel carried out a total of 39 attacks on Syrian military sites in 2020, killing 217 Syrian soldiers and pro-Iran fighters.
Israel repeatedly said, it will not tolerate any military activity by the Iranian-backed militias in Syria.
