Syria denounces airstrikes by Israeli planes in the vicinity of Damascus

MADRID, 20 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Syrian authorities have denounced on Monday air strikes allegedly carried out by Israeli planes in the vicinity of the capital, Damascus, military sources have confirmed to the state news agency SANA.

"Our air defenses have responded to an attack with Israeli missiles directed at points in the vicinity of Damascus and shot down several enemy missiles," said the aforementioned agency, citing a military source, adding that the attacks were carried out at 00:00. (local time) from the northeast direction of Lake Kinneret.

As a result of the attack, two Syrian soldiers have been injured, although their condition has not been disclosed so far. In addition, the alleged Israeli attack would have caused some material losses.

The Israeli Army has carried out dozens of bombardments in Syria, arguing that they act to prevent the establishment of Iranian bases in the country and the shipment of weapons to the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah by the Iranian authorities, which support Damascus in the framework of the war that broke out in 2011.
