In a statement, the Ministry pointed out that "the Israeli enemy carried out air strikes from the northeastern direction of Lake Tabarayya, targeting some points near Damascus," adding that Syrian air defenses intercepted most of the missiles.

It is noteworthy that in September, an Israeli aggression around the capital Damascus resulted in the martyrdom of five Syrian soldiers.

In June, Israeli aggression airstrikes put Damascus airport out of service for nearly two weeks, and in August and September, Israeli airstrikes targeted Aleppo airport.
