Report: Area near Damascus targeted in fresh Israeli aggression
Israel carried out new aerial aggression near the Syrian capital city of Damascus after midnight on Sunday, according to reports by media outlets affiliated with anti-Damascus militant groups.
The reports, not confirmed by the Syrian official media outlets, said the Israeli air raids took place in the town of al-Dimas, just west of Damascus.
The strikes, the reports claimed, targeted sites belonging to the Syrian army and its allies.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage caused by the assault.
On September 13, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that two soldiers were killed and six others injured in an Israeli aggression against air defense units in the coastal city of Tartous.
Later in the day, Israeli aircraft conducted similar airstrikes on some sites in the west-central province of Hama, causing material damage.
Israel frequently has attacked the positions of Syria’s military and its allies since 2011, when the Arab country found itself in the grip of rampant foreign-backed violence and terrorism.
The regime’s raids mostly target the positions of Syria’s allies that have been aiding the country in its uphill battle against foreign-sponsored terror groups.
Damascus has repeatedly complained to the United Nations over the Israeli assaults, urging the world body’s Security Council to take action against Tel Aviv’s crimes. Its demands, however, have fallen on deaf ears.
