Israeli missiles struck a military position near Damascus and Syria’s air defence system responded on Saturday, destroying two of them, Syrian state television said. ”The Israeli enemy launched…several surface-to-surface missiles towards a military position,“ it said, adding there had been ”material losses at the site. An Israeli military spokeswoman had declined to comment on earlier reports of such an attack overnight. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said missiles, probably fired by the Israeli military, struck an arms depot of the Syrian army or its allied forces after midnight. On a visit to Damascus in October, Iran’s military chief warned Israel against breaching Syrian airspace or territory.
