The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition organization based in Britain, told the Saudi Al-Hadath channel that Israel attacked yesterday (Monday) in the al-Kiswa area, in the southwestern part of Damascus, where pro-Iranian militias are located. This is an area that has been attacked more than once in recent years. According to the report, the Syrian regime’s air defense systems managed to intercept at least six Israeli missiles, Kaan Hadashot reported.

A Syrian military official said yesterday that at 11:18 PM, the Israeli Air Force attacked several positions in the southern city of Damascus from the Golan Heights. Syrian air defense systems were activated and intercepted most of the missiles. It was claimed that no damage was done and no casualties were reported. According to local reports, heavy explosions were heard both over the Syrian capital and in northern Israel.

The Syrian army’s report that the missiles were intercepted was not verified, the Syrian army regularly claims that it intercepts missiles after almost every Israeli attack, claims that Israeli military personnel and analysts reject, and claim that this is bragging.

Yossi Yehoshua, a military correspondent at Yedioth Ahronoth, tweeted on his Twitter account that this is “another Israeli attack on Syria against Iranian targets. The Air Force is increasing pressure and there are no restrictions on the part of Russia. If you join operations in Iran attributed to Israel “And the IDF, the IDF continues to thwart Iranian weapons transfers to Syria and Damascus International Airport is shut down for weeks in mysterious operations attributed to the IDF by air, cyber and land.”
