Syria Repels Israeli Aggression against Damascus, Homs (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syria air defense forces thwarted missile attacks targeting the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus and the city of Homs, a report said.
The Syrian air defense earlier said its forces had shot down three missiles launched by Israeli warplanes on Sunday night from Lebanese airspace towards some Syrian sites, SANA reported.
The strikes killed a number of civilians, including a kid.
SANA quoted a military source as saying that the aggression targeted military sites in Homs and the suburbs of Damascus.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also claimed that the strikes had targeted a research center and a military airport west of the city of Homs.
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.
