Islam Times - Israel Claims Air Raids in Syrian Capital Damascus

Islam Times - A day earlier, the Syrian Armed Forces Command warned that any aircraft violating the country's airspace would be treated as enemy military targets and immediately shot down.

The Syrian air defence was responding to "hostile targets" over the Damascus area, SANA news agency reported on Sunday.

The Syrian air defence repelled the missiles that exploded in the sky in the south of Damascus, a Sputnik correspondent said later. A Syrian security source also confirmed the missiles were launched by the Israeli military.

The Israeli Defence Forces have also confirmed carrying strikes against Damascus on Twitter. The IDF said it targeted Islamic Jihad positions in Syria.
