One Syrian soldier has been killed and three others were injured when Israeli aircraft carried out a strike against military installations and a residential building in the southwestern part of the capital Damascus.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that the Israeli aerial assault took place after midnight Sunday and targeted military sites and a house in the Kafr Sousa neighborhood.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression from the direction of occupied Syrian Golan, while our Syrian Arab Army’s air defense systems intercepted the missiles launched by the Israeli enemy and downed some of them,” the military source said in a statement.

The Israeli airstrike against the crisis-hit Arab nation comes amid the regime’s bloody onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the coastal territory, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, since Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7.
Russia warns that Israel
At least 38,443 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while another 88,481 individuals have sustained injuries.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its cowardly attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.
Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
