Syrian air defenses repelled hostile Israeli targets in the vicinity of the al-Kiswah area in southern rural Damascus on Monday.

Syria's official state agency SANA reported that Israeli aggression targeted the outskirts of Damascus City on Monday evening.

Video footage showed Israeli occupation warplanes flying over northern occupied Palestine while targeting Syria.

It is worth noting that Syrian air defenses thwarted hostile targets in the vicinity of Damascus City last week after Israeli warplanes launched missiles from above the occupied territories.

Earlier this month, a new act of Israeli aggression killed four Syrian Arab Army soldiers and wounded four others in the vicinity of Damascus as Syrian air defenses engaged the hostile targets.

Such acts of aggression are commonplace in Syria, with the Israeli occupation continuously violating the country's airspace.
