Syria: 2 civilians killed in Israeli airstrike near Damascus

DAMASCUS, 08 March 2022, (TON): Syria’s defense ministry said “Israel fired several missiles toward Syrian military positions near the capital Damascus Monday, killing two civilians and causing material damage.”

The ministry said in a statement “Israeli warplanes flying over neighboring Lebanon fired the missiles toward Syria. It added that Syrian air defenses shot down most of the missiles.”

It gave no further details or say how the civilians were killed.

Israel did not comment on the attack and rarely acknowledges such operations. But it has launched hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria during its past decade of civil war.
