Syria accuses Israel of killing three soldiers and wounding seven others in a missile attack on Damascus

July 22 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Syrian Defense Ministry on Friday accused Israel of killing three soldiers and wounding seven others in launching a missile attack on the Syrian capital Damascus.

“At 0032 hours (local time) this Friday, the Israeli enemy has carried out an air aggression with missile bursts from the direction of the Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus, and our media air defense confronted the aggression missiles and fired some of them, there are some losses,” the Syrian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

A military source has confirmed to the Syrian news agency SANA that the attack has caused “the death of three soldiers, and another seven have been injured and has caused some material losses”.

Israel attacks Syrian territory, despite Damascus’ numerous complaints to the UN Security Council, where it states that these actions infringe its sovereignty and threaten regional stability.

In turn, Israel justifies these attacks in the presence of Iranian and Lebanese militias in Syrian territory, allies of Damascus, whom it considers a danger to the country’s national security.
