Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that several Israeli missiles were fired from the direction of the eastern Lebanese town of Rayaq at some targets near Damascus on Monday.
The source added that Syrian air defenses managed to destroy most of the missiles, noting that the strikes had caused some “material damage.”
There were no immediate reports of casualties, however.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against the foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime mostly keeps quiet about its attacks on Syrian territories which many view as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s increasing success in confronting terrorism.
Israel has been a key supporter of terrorist groups that have opposed the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
