A Syrian soldier was seriously injured late on Tuesday night as a result of Israeli shelling that targeted several targets near the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The Syrian army said in a statement that "The Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting some locations southwest of Damascus." They added that their air defences intercepted some of the missiles, but that the strikes seriously injured one Syrian soldier and caused material damage. 

Syrian media noted that the shelling focused on the Al-Kiswah area and targeted locations related to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, warehouses containing military equipment, and the sites of the Syrian air defense system that fired anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli planes.
