(MENAFN) The Syrian Arab army said that its air defense systems interrupted an Israeli air attack on a military position near the capital Damascus on Wednesday.
"This morning, Israeli warplanes fired several missiles from Lebanese airspace on one of our military positions in the Damascus countryside," said an army statement carried by state media. "Our air defense systems blocked them and destroyed most of them."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor of the war, said at least some Israeli missiles had hit military targets near Damascus.
"Syria's air defense system blocked some of the missiles, but others hit ammunition depots near Jamraya," Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said.
