Israel jets strike near Damascus (Syria agency)

Israeli warplanes launched air strikes against two security sites near Damascus on Sunday, including one near the capital’s international airport, Syria’s state-news agency reported.

The agency said Israel had committed an “aggression” against Syria by “targeting two security areas in the outskirts of Damascus.”
The agency said the two sites were in the town of Dimas, near Lebanon, and near Damascus’ International Airport, adding that there were no casualties.

Reports of the attack were earlier carried by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict, said one of the sites targeted, Dimas, was a military position.
  • Israel’s Haaretz newspaper said no Israeli officials had confirmed or denied the report as yet, adding that it was unclear how reliable the report was.
Israel is suspected of having carried out a series of air strikes on areas in and around Damascus since the uprising to remove President Bashar Assad almost four years ago.

Israel, however, has never confirmed the strikes that are believed to have targeted sophisticated weapons systems destined for Hezbollah.

  2. Syrian opposition sources told Arab media on Monday that the airstrikes near Damascus that were alleged to have been carried out by Israeli warplanes destroyed a storage facility housing anti-aircraft missiles as well as drones belonging to Hezbollah...

    While the Lebanese Shi’ite group has yet to officially comment on the attack, Channel 2 is citing a report in the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar which said that “the Israeli action was intended to preserve the rules of the game.”

    The newspaper claimed that the IAF struck weapons caches “that belonged to Hezbollah.” These arms are considered to be “capable of tilting the strategic balance,” namely threaten Israel’s ability to act freely in the skies above Lebanon.............http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Hezbollah-drones-anti-aircraft-missiles-destroyed-in-Syria-attack-opposition-claims-383962
