WATCH Damascus air defenses intercept incoming Israeli missiles

Syrian air defenses in Damascus brought down several “hostile targets” coming from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights. Israel confirmed it conducted a strike as videos of the alleged interception were shared online.

The Israeli military launched a series of raids against “terrorist targets” belonging to Islamic Jihad in Syria and throughout Gaza, IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed in a rare admission of strikes against its neighbor.

The strikes were launched from outside Syrian airspace with missiles coming from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights, according to state media. While “most” of the missiles were intercepted, the damage inflicted by the “Israeli aggression” is still being examined, a military source told SANA.
