Syria intercepts Israeli missile attack: state media

DAMASCUS, 21 May 2022, (TON): Syrian air defenses intercepted Israeli missile strikes near Damascus, state media reported.

Syria’s official news agency said “our air defenses stopped a number of hostile missiles in the airspace of the southern countryside of Damascus.”

AFP correspondents in the Syrian capital said “they heard very loud noises in the evening.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said “the target of the Israeli strikes were Iranian bases near Damascus.”

The latest strike follows one on May 14 that killed five soldiers and another one on April 27 which, according to the Observatory, killed 10 combatants, among them six Syrian soldiers, in the deadliest such raid since the start of 2022.
