Israel strikes Syrian military targets near Damascus, IDF calls it ‘response’ to failed border attack
Israeli jets bombed military targets south of Damascus late on Monday night, the IDF has confirmed in a statement, following reports of Syrian defenses intercepting aerial targets.
The airstrike took place in the southwestern countryside of Damascus, SANA news agency reported describing explosions being heard in the city.
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) then said in a statement the attack was a response to an attempted provocation on the Syrian-Israeli border targeting the fence in the occupied Golan Heights.
The IDF said the strike targeted Syrian army’s observation posts, intelligence-gathering equipment, anti-aircraft cannons and command-and-control infrastructure.
