DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – An air strike by the Zionist regime on Tuesday killed two Syrian civilians, state media reported, the fourth such attack on government-held areas of the war-torn country in less than a week.
During more than a decade of foreign-backed war in Syria, the Zionist regime has launched hundreds of air strikes on its territory.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an air strike” shortly after midnight, resulting “in the death of two civilians”, Syrian state news agency SANA reported, quoting a military source.
The attack came from the direction of “the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus and the southern region”, it said, adding Syria’s air defenses intercepted most of the missiles.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor gave the same civilian death toll.
The new attack came after the Zionist regime conducted a missile strike against positions across the country’s central Homs province on Sunday, injuring five soldiers.
Two earlier attacks on Damascus were carried out on Thursday and Friday.
The Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry reacted to the attacks saying they were an extension of the Zionist regime’s “fascist” approach towards regional countries.
The Tel Aviv regime mostly keeps quiet about its attacks on Syrian territory, which many view as a knee-jerk reaction to increasing success of the country’s government and its allies in confronting terrorism.
