On October 1, Syrian air defenses intercepted Israeli missile strikes near the capital, Damascus, overnight, marking the third such attack in recent nights, according to Syria's state news agency, SANA.

Explosions were heard repeatedly in the area as the Israeli occupation forces targeted locations around Damascus.

'Israel' escalates aggression in region

This latest strike comes amid an escalation of Israeli attacks on various regions in Syria, coinciding with increased Israeli aggression on Lebanon. Tensions have been particularly high along the Syrian-Lebanese border, where Israeli aircraft launched attacks near Lebanese areas in the country's east.

The sounds of explosions and anti-aircraft fire were also reported in areas such as al-Qusayr, Jousiyah, Qalamoun, and Kfeir Yabous near the border, extending to the northern countryside of Quneitra, near Mount Hermon, parallel to Lebanon's western Beqaa region.

In a separate incident on Saturday, an Israeli airstrike killed a man and his wife when their home in Beit Saber, located in Mount Hermon in the Damascus countryside, was hit.

This surge in Israeli air raids continues to provoke regional instability, with both Syria and Lebanon bearing the brunt of the aggression that targets any and every country that is supporting Gaza in the face of the ongoing genocide.
