DAMASCUS, 1 March, 2021 (TON): Sunday night Syrian air defenses were seen active in the capital Damascus and its suburbs, repelling the Israeli missile attack, the media reported.

The incident caused no casualties.

Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iran-linked military targets in Syria over the years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.

Most of the Israeli missiles were shot down before reaching their targets near Damascus, a military official stated.

However, the attack resulted after the U.S. launched airstrike in Syria on Thursday.

The attack targeted targeting facilities near the Iraqi border used by the militia groups, while the Pentagon said it was in retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier February.
Israel views Iranian entrenchment on its northern frontier as a red line, and it has repeatedly struck Iran-linked facilities and weapons convoys destined for the militant group active in Lebanon.
