The Syrian Army’s air defense units have repelled an Israeli rocket attack near the capital Damascus, amid intensified strikes by the Tel Aviv regime against the Arab country since the start of the occupying entity’s brutal war on the besieged Gaza, reports Press TV.
The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted an unnamed military source as saying in a statement that the Israeli aggression occurred in the early hours of Saturday.
"At approximately 1:35 am (1035 GMT) today, the Israeli enemy carried out an air assault from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points near the city of Damascus," the statement said.
The attack left no casualties, it added.
The military source said the Syrian Army’s air defense units responded to the Israeli missiles and shot down "most of them," underlining that the aggression led to “only material losses.”
Earlier, last week, the Israel regime carried out airstrikes on Syria’s Damascus International Airport, causing the facility to go out of service.
