An Israeli aggression was carried out against Syria today, Monday, targeting the vicinity of Damascus with a burst of missiles, which led to the injury of one soldier of the Syrian Arab Army and material damage, in a rare day-time attack.

A Syrian military source announced, "the Israeli enemy carried out airstrikes from the north of the occupied Palestinian territories targeting sites near Damascus," adding that the Syrian air defenses responded to the aggression and downed a number of hostile missiles.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported earlier hearing explosions in the sky of the countryside of the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday, which was later confirmed by the Syrian state news agency SANA.

A few days ago, the Russian Center for reconciliation in Syria announced that 4 Israeli fighter jets carried out an aggression against Damascus and that Syrian air defense forces intercepted two cruise missiles and four guided bombs.

This is the second Israeli attack on Syria within less than a week. On October 22, "Israel" carried out air strikes from the northeastern direction of Lake Tabarayya, targeting some sites near Damascus, where most hostile missiles were intercepted.

It's noteworthy that in September, an Israeli air aggression on Damascus International airport resulted in the martyrdom of five Syrian soldiers.

The Israeli aggressions on Syria were not limited to "military targets". In early September, eight Israeli fighters of the F-16 type launched attacks on Aleppo and Damascus, where the Syrian foreign ministry stated that "Israel is playing with fire" and that the situation of the military and security are dire, as the region is at risk of bombing.
