Israeli airstrikes were launched against Syria on Wednesday, targeting an area outside of Damascus, Syria’s SANA news agency reported.
The SANA report said that Syrian air defenses intercepted some of the Israeli missiles, and a military source said the strikes only caused material damage, with no casualties reported.
A correspondent for Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen reported missiles targeted al-Sayyeda Zeinab, an area to the south of Damascus. Loud explosions were also heard further south.
Israel has bombed Syria with impunity for years but has significantly escalated its airstrikes in the country since October 7. The Israeli bombing campaign has killed several members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) over the past few months, raising the risk of a major regional war.
The last suspected Israeli airstrike in Syria hit an area near the Lebanon border over the weekend, killing three Hezbollah members. Before that, an Israeli airstrike hit a residential building in Damascus, killing at least two.
Israel also continues to launch airstrikes in Lebanon as the risk of a full-blown war in southern Lebanon grows. Hezbollah has said it would stop firing on northern Israel if a ceasefire is reached in Gaza, but Israel is threatening it will escalate in Lebanon.
Cowards…!
They bombed residential neighborhoods, same with Lebanon and killed a bunch of women and kids at an aid truck. They crown about self defense, but act like the biggest terrorists on the planet.
There was a massacre of over 100 Palestinians seeking food from an aid truck. Israel claims that aid trucks rammed into the crowd. Never ends doesn’t it?
Russia must shoot down these terrorists and keep them out of Syria. The only way the IDF will learn is by eliminating with full force.
This was in response to Syria launching multiple strikes on Tel Aviv. Oops. Syria has not attacked Tel Aviv. I am in a quandry here. Why is Israel attacking Syria? Perhaps to use up their arsenal so that the U.S. will be able to supply the latest model of weapons to be used on Syria, Iran, Gaza, West Bank, etc. , etc. etc.
The Jewish State is an abysmal failure and one that seems determined to always persist towards war and potential genocide.
