July 19 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Israeli Army has carried out a night attack against several points located around the Syrian capital, Damascus, which has injured at least two soldiers, according to what the Syrian authorities have denounced.

The Syrian Ministry of Defense has detailed that the bombardments have taken place around 00:25 (local time) from an area located in the Golan Heights, territory that Israel partially seized from Syria during the Six-Day War (1967). and the Yom Kippur War (1973) and which was effectively annexed in 1981, in a move not recognized by the international community.

According to a statement published on the Facebook profile of the ministerial portfolio, the air defense has been activated, shooting down most of the missiles, however, two soldiers have been injured and there have been material losses.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in London and informants in the Arab country, has indicated that the objectives have been bases of the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah.

Israel generically recognizes attacks in Syria arguing that it acts to prevent the establishment of Iranian bases in the country and the shipment of weapons to Hezbollah by the Iranian authorities, which support Damascus in the framework of the war that broke out in 2011. .
