Two Explosions Heard in Damascus: Media
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Two huge explosions were heard in the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday, an eyewitness to the incident told the Syrian state news agency SANA.
The Syrian media said authorities were investigating the source of the blasts.
The report comes as the Israeli regime’s fighter jets regularly attack Syrian army positions in the country.
Syria and the Israeli regime are technically at war due to the latter’s 1967-to-present occupation of the Arab country’s Golan Heights.
The US-sponsored regime maintains a significant military presence in the Syrian territory, using it as one of its launching pads for attacks against the Arab country.
The regime's attacks on Syria started to grow significantly in scale and frequency after 2011, when the nation found itself in the grips of rampant foreign-backed terror campaign that sought to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
One of the most serious attacks to target the Syrian territory so far this year came on June 10, when the occupying Israeli regime struck the Damascus International Airport, causing the facility to go completely out of service for a period of two weeks.
Syria called on the United Nations and the world body’s Security Council at the time to condemn in clear and explicit terms the regime’s recurrent and often deadly acts of aggression against the Arab country.
