Loud explosions were heard in the capital Damascus and its vicinity at 1:30 am, and lasted for few minutes.

Also large fires broke out in the targeted sites and they were clearly seen by the SOHR’s activists and the residents of the capital Damascus and its surroundings.

SOHR published yesterday that violent explosions shook the capital Damascus and its surroundings at dawn of Tuesday, sources told the “Syrian Observatory” that the explosions were caused by Israeli targeting using about 5 missiles on sites south and southwest of the capital Damascus, where regime’s air defenses responded to the missiles and were able to drop some of them, but others reached their targets, and no information so far about the human and material losses, where the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian militias are active in that area, and the sources added to the Syrian Observatory that this targeting took place against sites from which the 4 missiles were launched from inside the Syrian territory on the occupied Syrian Golan, where the Israeli occupation forces were able to counter them through the so-called “Iron Dome”, before targeting their launch sites in Syria.
