An Israeli air strike targeting sites around Syria’s Damascus left one Syrian soldier with “serious injuries and caused some material damage”, state news agency, SANA, reported early on Wednesday citing a military source.
Syrian air defences intercepted missiles Israel launched at 1:05 a.m. from the Golan Heights and “shot down some of them,” the source said, Reuters reports.
Israel has, for years, been carrying out attacks against what it has described as Iran-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran’s influence has grown since it began supporting President Bashar Al-Assad in the civil war that started in 2011.
