Alwaght- Israeli regime in yet another aggression against Syria launched a missile attack on Friday near Damascus and killed three soldiers and wounded seven more, Syrian state media reported.
Citing a military source, Syria's SANA news agency said Israeli regime "carried out an aerial aggression" at 00:32 a.m., firing missiles from the Golan Heights targeting "a number of positions in the vicinity of Damascus".
Syrian air defenses managed to shoot down some of the missiles, SANA added.
The attack also caused material damage, SANA reported, without providing further details. A war monitor said was the 17th Israeli attack on Syrian territory this year.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israeli missiles had been fired at targets including air force intelligence offices in the area of Mezze air base on the western edge of Damascus.
The Syrian government last reported an Israeli attack on July 2 which it said targeted an area south of the Mediterranean city of Tartus and injured two civilians.
In June, Syria briefly halted flights to and from Damascus airport after saying an Israeli attack damaged the airstrip and a terminal.
Syria has been in the throes of foreign-backed militancy since March 2011.
While the ISIS terrorist group was crushed by Damascus with the help of resistance groups in the region, the militant groups continue to hold sway in some parts of the country.
The Syrian government maintains that the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies aid these terrorist groups that continue to wreak havoc in the country.
Israel has been a key supporter of foreign terrorist groups in the Arab country, who have been seeking the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad and his democratically-elected government.
The regime frequently launches airstrikes at Syria, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in decimating Tel Aviv-backed terrorist groups.
The aerial bombardments intensified in scale and frequency after 2011 when the Arab country found itself in the grip of foreign-backed militancy and terrorism.
The Syrian government has, on numerous occasions, complained to the United Nations about the incessant Israeli aggression.
