Israel launches umpteenth airstrike on Syria

Israel launches umpteenth airstrike on Syria
Tel Aviv, Feb 9 (Prensa Latina) The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Wednesday fired into Syrian anti-missile batteries, in response to a new missile attack by Tel Aviv aircraft on sites near Damascus.

SANA news agency, quoted by the national press, denounced that IDF aircraft from Lebanon carried out a new incursion on Tuesday evening.

This time, the targets were near Damascus, which caused that the Syrian defense units responded to the umpteenth strike.

Dozens of Israeli air strikes, which caused several deaths and injuries, as well as significant material damages, were recorded in 2021, although none was acknowledged by Tel Aviv, according to its usual policy about the issue.

Some few weeks ago, a high-ranking Israeli security official told The Jerusalem Post that the army launched missile attacks on dozens of alleged targets of the Lebanese Hezbollah group in Syria over the last three years.

The Damascus authorities have repeatedly denounced the Israeli incursions to the United Nations Security Council, pointing out that they have violated treaties, international conventions and national sovereignty.
