(Worthy News) – The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on Iranian advanced arms depots in Damascus overnight Thursday, but Syrian air defense systems were not activated, Ynet has learned.
This marks the second attack in Syria within a week. Overnight Sunday, a Syrian surface-to-air missile exploded over Israeli airspace after a failed attempt to intercept an incoming strike attributed to Israel. Debris was scattered over southern Israel, about 400 kilometers from the launch site in Tartus.
The blast rocked central and southern Israel. Subsequently, fighter jets targeted the battery that launched the missile, along with additional targets in the area. [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]
