The Israeli military said its Iron Dome rocket defence system intercepted some of the incoming projectiles, while others caused only minimal damage. Syria’s state media said Syrian air defences intercepted “hostile Israeli missiles” early Thursday that were fired over southwestern Damascus. One TV station, Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen, said at least 50 missiles were fired from Syria at Israeli forces in the Golan Heights. Syrian media said it was the first time in years that Syrians had fired at Israeli forces in the Golan Heights. Last month, an attack on Syria’s T4 airbase in Homs province killed seven Iranian military personnel.
