BEIRUT: Syrian anti-aircraft defence on Sunday fired on Israeli missiles, shooting down one that fell outside Damascus, the official Syrian news agency Sana reported.
The “hostile missiles came from the Occupied Territories,” Sana said, referring to Israel, adding that one missile came down in Aqraba, a suburb of Damascus. An Israeli army spokeswoman contacted by AFP said Israel does not comment on reports in foreign media. According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, there were three explosions in the Damascus suburbs after the missiles targeted “Syrian regime and Iranian positions”.Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, the Israeli army has made hundreds of strikes on Syrian territory against Iranian targets and pro-Tehran militias, who are allied with the Damascus regime of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad.
An Israeli strike on Nov 20 killed 21 pro-regime fighters, including 16 foreigners and also two civilians, according to the watchdog Observatory.
