Israeli aggression targeting the Damascus countryside

At dawn on Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force carried out an air attack on a number of points in the countryside of the capital, Damascus, where the raids resulted in some material damage.


The Israeli occupation carried out an air attack from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a number of points in the Damascus countryside, and the aggression resulted in some material damage.


Last Saturday, the Syrian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that Israel targeted the city of Aleppo with an air strike, causing some “material losses” there.


The statement said that Israel carried out "an air attack from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Latakia, targeting a number of points south of the city of Aleppo."


The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 6 Israeli missiles targeted farms between the villages of Al-Dhahabiya and Sheikh Saeed in the area of Al-Nairab Military Airport, which contains warehouses and headquarters for Iranian militias. A missile also landed in the area of Aleppo International Airport and Al-Nayrab Military Airport. No damage to the airport.


Last week, a prominent commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was killed in Syria as a result of an Israeli air strike near Damascus.


Tasnim Agency reported, “Sayyed Radhi Mousavi, one of the senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria, was killed following the Israeli occupation that targeted the Sayyida Zeinab area on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus.”


Israel usually launches air strikes on areas in Syria, claiming to target Iranian sites, but it does not claim responsibility for those attacks.


Recently, the Israeli army began to claim responsibility for some attacks since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.


The ceasefire borders between Israel, Syria and Lebanon have witnessed increasing tension since the start of the escalation in the Gaza Strip, as the areas of the Upper Galilee are subjected to repeated bombardment from Lebanese and Syrian territory, and Israel responds with counter-bombardment.
