MOSCOW, Jan 2 Israel strikes south of Syrian capital Damascus, according to the Syrian state television channel Al-Ikhbariya.
«The Israeli enemy attacked the south of the (Syrian — ed.) capital of Damascus,» the channel said.
The Syrian state agency SANA previously reported explosions in the sky over Syrian capital. According to him, the Syrian air defense repulsed the attack in the skies over Damascus.
The Israeli army systematically launches airstrikes on various targets in Syria. Last year, Damascus, Aleppo, the port of Tartus and a research center in the city of Masyaf were shelled. As Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, noted, the Syrian authorities have repeatedly turned to the secretary general of the organization because of the Israeli attacks, but there was no reaction from António Guterres. Moscow considers this unacceptable.
