DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – An air attack by the Zionist regime on Syria’s capital Damascus has left one Syrian soldier with “serious injuries and caused some material damage”, the state news agency SANA has reported.
Syrian air defenses engaged the Zionist regime missiles that were launched at 1:05 am on Wednesday (22:05 GMT) morning from the Golan Heights and “shot down some of them”, according to a military source cited by SANA.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights targeting several positions southwest of Damascus,” SANA reported.
The airstrikes left one Syrian soldier with “serious injuries and caused some material damage,” the report said, citing a Syrian military source.
The Golan Heights has been under Zionist occupation since 1967, when the regime launched a large-scale war against the regional Arab states, including Syria.
The occupying regime has been using the territory as a launch pad for its acts of military aggression against the Arab nation ever since.
The attacks intensified in 2011, when Syria found itself in the grip of rampant foreign-backed militancy and terrorism.
The regime’s missile strikes regularly target the positions of the Syrian army or those of its allies.
Damascus has repeatedly complained to the United Nations over the Israeli assaults, urging the world body’s Security Council to take action against Tel Aviv’s crimes.
The occupying regime has even been using the territory to provide safe passage and medical treatment for the anti-Syria Takfiri terrorists, who would flee there from the Syrian military’s counter-terrorism operations.
