Syrian state media: Israeli missiles strike near Damascus
BEIRUT — Israel fired several surface-to-surface missiles at a military post near the Syrian capital of Damascus early on Saturday, causing material damage but no casualties, Syria’s state-run news agency reported.
The airstrike came as violence resumed in the Damascus suburbs after days of calm while the government and opposition delegations attended peace talks in Geneva.
The Israeli military did not comment on the missile attack, which occurred shortly after midnight on Friday, targeting a military area near the southern Damascus suburb of Kiswah.
SANA, the state news agency, said the missile attack caused material damage but gave no details. The report also said that Syrian air defences shot down two of the Israeli missiles.
