The Israeli military admitted that its fighter jets had bombarded the Damascus area, Syria, with the target of a missile defense site, Wednesday (02/09/2022) early morning.
They claimed this attack was in retaliation for an anti-aircraft missile from Syria that flew into Israeli airspace.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), quoted by the Jerusalem Post, confirmed that the attacks in Damascus targeted batteries of anti-aircraft missile defense systems and radar systems.
The IDF did not specify the results of its military operations. An anti-aircraft missile attack from Syria entered Israeli airspace on Tuesday night or early Wednesday. This attack set off Red Color rocket sirens in northern Israel to wail.
A Sputniknews correspondent in Damascus reported an explosion over the Syrian capital on Wednesday morning.
According to Syrian state media, the Damascus air defense system struck incoming enemy projectiles.
Syrian state television reported that the Damascus military had shot down a number of Israeli aggressor missiles, but did not give a number.
This morning's Israeli airstrike was recorded as the second such attack in Syria since the start of this year.
The airstrikes came more than a week after previous Israeli air strikes targeted sites near Damascus, causing some material damage.
