Syria claims: Israel attacked in Damascus area, explosions heard

Syrian media reported on Sunday night that explosions were heard in the Damascus area as a result of an air strike which was blamed on Israel.
The country’s air defense systems were activated following the strike, the reports said.
Earlier this month, Syria accused Israel of an air strike in the Aleppo area.
Sources in the Syrian opposition claimed that the air strike occurred near the Aleppo airport, and was aimed at posts in which Iranian forces are stationed.
A Syrian military source said that “a military official was killed and seven others were injured, including two civilians.”
Days earlier, the official Syrian news agency SANA reported that Israel carried out an air strike near the city of Homs in western Syria.
According to the report, Syria’s air defense systems were activated against “hostile targets” over Homs and intercepted some of the missiles.
