Syria’s Air Defense Intercepts Israeli Missiles near Hama
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syrian air defenses intercepted and shot down some of the rockets fired by the Israeli army at a military position near the west-central province of Hama, Syrian state television said on Saturday.
Citing military sources, SANA news agency and Syrian state television said that Israeli aircraft had targeted "one of our military positions towards the city of Masyaf."
"The enemy missiles were dealt with and some of them were shot down before reaching their target, resulting in the damage of a few buildings and the injury of three fighters," SANA added.
The Israeli regime launches airstrikes on the Syrian territory from time to time. Such aggressive moves are usually viewed as attempts to prop up terrorist groups suffering defeats at the hands of Syrian government forces.
On March 27, the Israeli regime launched multiple missile attacks on Shaykh Najjar industrial city located 10 km northeast of Syria’s Aleppo.
