Syrian air defense systems shoot down Israeli missiles near Damascus
Tehran (KNA) - Syrian air defense systems have intercepted “hostile” missiles fired by Israeli warplanes, nearly a month after government force foiled another Israeli act of aggression against the country.
Syria's official SANA news agency cited a military source as saying on Tuesday that the Israeli missiles were launched from the Lebanese airspace, and that most of them were downed before reaching their targets, without specifying their location.
Three soldiers were injured in the attack, which caused damage to a munitions warehouse, according to the source.
Earlier, the state-run al-Ikhbariyah Syria television news network said that air defenses had intercepted "hostile targets" in the skies over the western outskirts of the capital, Damascus.
