Israel launched a rocket attack on a city south of Damascus late Wednesday night, causing property damage, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported.
“The Israeli enemy carried out a strike with several surface-to-surface missiles” from the occupied Golan Heights, which Israel has annexed, against the city of Zakia at 23:35 (Greek local time and time), SANA reported, citing a source close to armed forces.
“The bombing was aimed at the regime’s military position,” Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP.
This is the second time this month that Israel has bombed Syria. On February 9, it targeted Syrian air defenses in response to a surface-to-air missile that exploded in Israeli airspace.
Since the outbreak of war in Syria in 2011, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes, most of them from the air, against positions of the Syrian government and its allies, the Iranian and pro-Iranian armed groups, mainly the Shiite militia. The Israeli authorities regularly say that they will not allow Iran, a sworn enemy of the Jewish state, to build a bridgehead on Syrian territory.
The war in Syria has claimed the lives of more than half a million people, wreaked havoc on infrastructure and uprooted millions of civilians, who have been displaced and displaced.
