Earlier on Wednesday, state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that explosions could be heard in the sky above the Syrian capital city of Damascus, as Syrian Air Defences responded to what it described as “Israeli aggression”.
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) stated it had stricken “Iranian Quds & Syrian Armed Forces targets” in Syria on Wednesday, saying that the attack was a response to Iran and Syria earlier placing “improvised explosive devices by the Alpha Line to hit Israeli troops”.
Prior to the IDF statement, SANA reported on early Wednesday that explosions could be heard in the sky above Damascus. In a follow-up report, SANA said, citing a Syrian military source, that three soldiers were killed and one injured as a result of the attack.
According to SANA, rockets were launched from the southern region of “the occupied Syrian Golan Heights”.
This is not the first time when the IDF conducts airstrikes, targeting what it describes as Iranian-backed military objects in Syria and attacking Syrian army facilities. Earlier in autumn, the Israeli armed forces confirmed striking Syrian military targets on 21 September.
In August, Syrian Air Defences intercepted several Israeli rockets, according to SANA. The reported strike killed two Syrian soldiers and wounded seven others, SANA noted.
