Syria Confronts Zionist Missile Attacks
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Syrian air defenses have intercepted missile attacks by the Zionist regime targeting the capital city of Damascus.
The occupying regime’s warplanes launched the attack from above the occupied Golan Heights shortly before midnight on Sunday, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.
"Most of the enemy missiles were shot down before reaching their targets,” SANA quoted a military source as saying.
The report added that the military was still verifying possible outcomes of the attacks by the regime.
The Zionist military also released a statement claiming that its fighter jets struck targets belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement south of Damascus.
"In the Adeliyah region, outside of Damascus, an Islamic Jihad compound was struck, used as a hub of Islamic Jihad’s activity in Syria,” it said.
A few hours later, Islamic Jihad released a statement saying that two of its members had been martyred in the airstrikes.
Palestinian fighters fired rockets from Gaza into the occupied territories on Monday after the Zionist regime martyred the two Islamic Jihad fighters.
The occupying regime has frequently launched airstrikes against Syria while the country has been preoccupied with fighting a nearly nine-year foreign-backed militancy which had once swept over large parts of the country.
Tel Aviv has long despised the Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, for its support for Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups countering the Zionist regime.
