Syrian news agency SANA confirmed on Monday that the Israeli occupation launched an aggression against several civilian sites south of the Syrian capital, Damascus.

A military source reported that at approximately 18:05 this evening, "Israel" conducted an airstrike from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting several civilian sites south of Damascus. The source noted that the attack resulted in some material damage.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Damascus confirmed hearing two explosions in the Syrian capital and reported local information indicating that the aggression targeted the agricultural areas near the Holy Shrine of Sayyida Zeinab.

Our correspondent added that initial reports indicate material damage to one of the farms near the targeted area.

On October 31st, an Israeli attack targeted several residential buildings and the industrial area in the city of al-Qusayr in southern Homs countryside, Syria.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Damascus confirmed that the Israeli strike hit the industrial area east of al-Qusayr, noting that "there were injuries among civilians."

This comes after the Israeli occupation increased its attacks on Syrian territories, when Israeli fighter jets launched several missiles from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting a residential building in the Kafr Sousa neighborhood in Damascus. The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of two civilians and the injury of another.

Damascus emphasized earlier that the ongoing aggression against the sovereignty of Syrian territories comes within the framework of the occupation authorities' efforts to expand and escalate their aggression in the region to cover up their war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and brutal massacres committed daily against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
