A new act of Israeli aggression on Monday killed four Syrian Arab Army soldiers and wounded four others in the vicinity of Damascus as Syrian air defenses engaged the hostile targets.
"The Israeli enemy carried out aerial aggression at 2:20 am on the Occupied Syrian Golan, targeting numerous points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus," a Syrian military source told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
The air defenses of the Syrian Army engaged the hostile targets and intercepted some of them. The aggression "led to the martyrdom of four soldiers, wounded four others, and material damages were recorded."
This is the third attack of this sort in the span of a month, and such acts of aggression are commonplace in Syria, with the Israeli occupation continuously violating the country's airspace.
On July 19, the Israeli occupation carried out attacks on the outskirts of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
The Syrian air defense systems quickly took to intercept the aggression, the agency reported.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced later that soldiers in the Syrian Arab Army sustained injuries due to the Israeli missile attack on the capital.
"The Israeli enemy carried out air aggression with a salvo of missiles from the northern part of the Occupied Golan Heights, striking at some objects in the vicinity of Damascus," the ministry said on social media.
Again, the Syrian air defense media repelled on July 2 an Israeli missile attack targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Homs.
