A soldier has been wounded in an Israeli missile strike just outside Damascus, Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported in the early hours of Wednesday, citing a military source. | |
According to the report, missiles were fired from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights at several targets to the southwest of the Syrian capital. | |
The country’s air defenses responded to the threat and intercepted several missiles, SANA said. Israel has thus far not commented on the incident. | |
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) previously confirmed that it had carried out air raids against Iranian-linked groups, which it claimed were using Syrian territory to attack Israel. | |
In April, the IDF announced that it had hit military sites in Syria in response to cross-border rocket attacks, and warned that it “will not allow any attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty.” SANA said at the time that two civilians had been killed in the strikes. |
