Israeli airstrikes near the Syrian capital of Damascus late Monday wounded at least one Syrian soldier, Syria’s SANA news agency has reported.
“At around 11:55 this evening, the Israeli enemy carried out a guided missile attack from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus,” a military source told SANA.
“The aggression resulted in the injury of a soldier and some material losses,” the source added.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed the strikes targeted arms depots belonging to Hezbollah and “pro-Iran” militias and killed two “pro-regime fighters.” But the account is not confirmed, and SOHR often changes its estimates.
The attack marks at least the 22nd Israeli bombing of Syria in 2023. Earlier this year, Israeli Defense Yoav Gallant said that the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled airstrikes in Syria since it came to power at the end of December 2022.
Israel frequently targeted Syria’s international airports in strikes this year, including in the wake of a devastating earthquake that killed thousands of Syrians. Israeli attacks since the earthquake hit in February knocked the Aleppo airport out of commission three times.
The Israeli government rarely acknowledges individual airstrikes in Syria and has not commented on Monday night’s attack.
“Israel frequently targeted Syria’s international airports in strikes this year, including in the wake of a devastating earthquake that killed thousands of Syrians.” Assad is a monster. Look what he made Israel do. (Anglo-Saxon-Israeli Sarcasm, but with more sick humor)
But still excellent. Nobody does sarcasm like you NA!
Thank you, Gypsy! I appreciate your friendship! You’re my Antiwar partner!
Right back atcha NA! 😁
Iran out of Syria-no more airstrikes.
Israel out of Golan Heights & West Bank.
maybee tomorrow-hahaha
When we can have a fair and equitable state, called Palestine, all the other details can be worked out in a timely and appropriate manner…
P.S. Since Israel has nukes, a nuclear Palestinian State seems fair and just. I’m sure you would agree…
No I do not agree-Israel has never used nukes,or threatened Palestinians with them. By the way,you repeatedly applaud the creature that calls itself the Vagabond,who must be constantly deleted due to lack of decency.Funny how many of the denizens of this spot support nuclear proliferation,China,Russia and Iran.I guess not so funny-serious deficit here.
That’s up to Syria.
Then let them get bombed-having used their country as a base for terrorists,they get what for. If your chemical plant pollutes my air, I have every right to deal with it.
Name some terroristic acts by Iran. And please, something from this century. On the other hand, we have a real state sponsor of terrorism that we send $4 billion per year.
Are you forkin real?Check out the article from Arab Times available online”Hezbollah, a history of assasinations. Or the bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Argentina.By the way the amount is 4 gadzillions.
So, nothing. And I said this century not 1994.
On what planet are you?Check out the Washington Institute for Near East Peace 7/20/2015-“Don’t forget or deny Hezbollah crime”s.
If you want to post a link proving your point, then do so. And I don’t recall Hezbollah assassinating any Israeli scientists or sabotaging Israels REAL nuclear facilities lately. Again, post me some terrorist acts Iran has done recently in comparison. And again, this century only.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed the strikes targeted arms depots belonging to Hezbollah and “pro-Iran” militias and killed two “pro-regime fighters.But the account is not confirmed, and SOHR often changes its estimates.
Right. When the truth comes out, they have to change their story. Not a “terrorist” but a goat herder sound familiar?
How many peoples are the IsraHellis going to murder before I’m given the immense pleasure of someone (ANYone) bombing IsraHell itself?
I rub my hands together with glee in anticipation.
