Israeli missiles target Damascus airport, Syria state media reports
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes hit a weapons depot outside the airport
An Israeli missile attack targeted the Syrian capital’s airport, activating air defences which shot down a number of the projectiles, state news agency SANA reported.
“Our air defences responded to an Israeli missile attack on Damascus international airport and shot down a number of hostile missiles,” a military source said, quoted by SANA.
The agency, without giving any information on casualties or damage, posted footage and images of the air defences being activated.
In a shaky video, a small, bright explosion is seen in the night sky, with city lights in the distance.
Correspondents in Damascus heard a loud blast late Saturday, followed by several smaller explosions.
The Israeli military declined to comment on the incident.
