Syrian air defences ‘intercept Israeli aggression’ over Damascus

Syria’s army says the country’s air defences intercepted Israeli aggression over the capital, Damascus.

The interception is the latest stepped-up bombing of alleged Iranian targets inside the country over the last two months.

State media did not give details of what was hit by the Israeli air force.

An army statement says, Israeli military planes flew over the Golan Heights to hit targets on the edge of the capital, without mentioning casualties

But it added that most of the alleged missiles that were fired had been brought down.
