Israel military fires missiles against targets near Damascus: Report



Press TV- A report says an Israeli warplanehave fired four missiles against two targets inside Syria close to the highway connecting the capital Damascus, to the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Rai al-Youm, an Arab world digital news and opinion website, carried the report on Wednesday, saying the attacks had struck a district identified as Sabourah.

One of the strikes, it said, hit a Syrian army's arms depot, while another targeted a number of trucks thought to be carrying weapons and military equipment.

Al-Masdar News, a pan-Arab news and commentary website based in Boston, said the warplane had fired long-range Popeye missiles at the district, located west of Damascus.

The air-to-surface missiles have been developed by the Israeli military itself.

The jet did not penetrate Syrian airspace but did allegedly breach Lebanese airspace in order to come within striking range of its designated target, it reported.

Israel is widely viewed as a staunch supporter of the Takfiri terrorists operating against the Damascus government.

The regime regularly targets the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, parts of which it has occupied since 1967.

Tel Aviv also provides treatment to anti-Syria Takfiri terrorists who sustain injuries on the battlefield against the Syrian army.

In the past, Israeli jets have time and again carried out sorties inside the Syrian territory under various pretexts.

Back in May, an Israeli strike against Damascus claimed the life of Mustafa Badreddine, a senior Hezbollah commander.

Lebanons Hezbollah resistance movement, which fought off two Israeli wars in 2006 and 2008at home, has been successfully helping Syria to defend itself in the face of terrorists and to prevent the spillover of the crisis into Lebanon.
