Syria repels Israeli missile attack near Damascus

Damascus, Feb 9 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian army's anti-aircraft batteries were activated on Friday to thwart a new Israeli missile aggression near this capital.

Local residents observed the interception of two missiles, while a third hit the Mezzeh air base, less than one kilometer west of Damascus.

There is still no official statement about the airstrike and whether it caused casualties or material losses.

On Wednesday, a similar missile attack on the city of Homs in central Syria killed nine civilians, in addition to causing significant material losses to the Public Services Department.

On February 2, Tel Aviv’s warplanes fired several shells from the occupied Syrian Golan, some of which were intercepted and others hit sites in town, about 10 kilometers southeast of Damascus.

Israel constantly shells Syria under the pretext of attacking pro-Iranian militias, while Damascus claims that these attacks violate its sovereignty and international law.
