Syrian Air Defenses Thwart Zionist Aggression
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Syrian air defenses have responded to an attack near the city of Damascus, the government’s SANA agency reported.
The media reported that explosions could be heard in the sky south of Damascus.
A video showing the projectiles in the night sky emerged on social media.
Meanwhile, in another aggression the occupying regime’s missiles had flown over the Syrian Golan Heights before being shot down by the Syrian air defenses over the capital, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported on Wednesday night.
The most recent attack was reported late last month, as according to SANA, the Zionist regime’s air force fired missiles at the town of Masyaf in the western province of Hama, while most of the rockets were successfully shot down by the Syrian Air Defense.
Later state-run SANA posted its footage of the incident over Damascus.
The Zionist regime frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The Arab country has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Zionist regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
In another development, Turkish military forces and allied militants launched barrages of artillery shells at residential neighborhoods in the northern sector of Syria’s province of Raqqah.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing local sources, reported that Turkish troops and their proxies targeted buildings in villages on the outskirts of Ayn Issa town on Thursday afternoon, causing damage to public and private property.
There was no immediate report of casualties.
Turkey has dispatched more than 250 troops to Ayn Issa, as Ankara beefs up its military presence in the embattled region.
Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency, citing a commander of the Diyarbakir provincial gendarmerie command, said 258 soldiers were sent to the area.
On October 9, 2019, Turkey launched a cross-border invasion of northeastern Syria in an attempt to push Kurdish militants affiliated with the so-called People’s Protection Units (YPG) — which Ankara views as a terror outfit — away from its borders.
