Israeli occupation forces launched early Saturday a new aggression on the Syrian capital, Damascus. Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Damascus reported that a missile attack targeted areas in the southern countryside of Damascus, while the Syrian air defenses intercepted it.

On its part, the Syrian Ministry of Defense confirmed that "the Israeli enemy conducted an aerial aggression this morning from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus."

The Ministry confirmed that Syrian air defenses intercepted the Israeli missiles and shot down most of them, noting that losses were limited to material damages only.

It is noteworthy that last week, Israeli occupation aircraft launched an airstrike targeting the runways of the Damascus International Airport, located in Syria's capital, causing it to go out of service.

At the time, a Syrian military source told Al Mayadeen that the Syrian air defenses intercepted an "Israeli airstrike launched from the direction of the occupied Golan targeted Damascus Airport, as well as some other posts across Damascus' countryside."

The military source underscored that the Israeli aggression "put the Damascus airport out of service" and caused "material losses".

The source further stressed that the Syrian air defenses had successfully intercepted most of the missiles launched toward Syria's capital. The aggression took place after Damascus International Airport resumed operations following a complete shutdown for over a month due to an earlier Israeli attack on its main runways.
