Israel’s air force repeatedly bombs targets in neighboring Syria. Such attacks have increased since the Gaza war began. People die in a new attack.
According to activists, at least three people were killed in a suspected Israeli attack near the Syrian capital Damascus. According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, those killed were believed to be members of pro-Iranian militias.
Israeli fighter jets fired several rockets at farms belonging to Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran. According to observers, the attack took place south of Damascus early on Friday morning. It is the eighth Israeli attack on targets in Syria since the beginning of the year.
The state news agency (SANA) in Syria confirmed the attacks, citing military sources. Accordingly, the Syrian army’s air defense “responded to Israeli aggression” and shot down “a number of enemy missiles.”
Israel’s air force repeatedly bombs targets in neighboring Syria. Israel wants to prevent its arch-enemy Iran and its allied militias from expanding their military influence in the country. Iran is one of Syria’s most important allies. Israeli attacks have increased since the Gaza war began in early October. Around ten days ago, several Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed in an air strike in Damascus.
