BEIRUT (Reuters) – Israeli war planes attacked with missiles unspecified targets near Damascus, the Syrian capital, on Tuesday and injured three Syrian soldiers, Syrian state media quoted a military source as saying. “Our air defenses confronted hostile missiles launched by Israeli war planes from above the Lebanese territories and downed most of them before reaching their targets,” the military source said. The nature of the Israeli missiles targets was unclear. An Israeli military spokeswoman declined to comment on the reports. Lebanese state-run National News Agency said Israeli war planes performed mock raids above southern Lebanon.
