The Syrian state news agency SANA informed that Syrian air defense forces repelled a Israeli attack in the suburb of Damascus this Sunday (28).
“A Syrian air defense repels an Israeli missile attack in the skies around Damascus, “published the agency.
The video shows the Syrian air defense system’s response to Israel’s attacks on the Assad regime and Iran-backed militants in the capital Damascus.
Another video shows Syria’s air defense system facing Israel’s missiles near Damascus.
The air strike was reportedly launched from the Golan Heights, “targeting targets near Damascus”.
Israeli broadcaster Kan informed that the attack is attributed to Israel and is believed to have been conducted in “response to an explosion on a ship caused by Iran”.
Earlier in the week, a British cargo ship, which was supposed to be owned by Israelis, suffered a explosion in the Gulf of Oman. The incident was attributed to Iran by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
“Iran is trying to target Israeli infrastructure and Israeli citizens. The location of the ship in relative proximity to Iran raises the notion, the assessment, that it is the Iranians,” he said.
