SYRIA STRIKES DOWN ISRAELI MISSILES FIRED TOWARDS DAMASCUS
May 10, 2024Syrian air defences shot down Israeli missiles fired from the Golan Heights towards Damascus’ outskirts targeting a building in the countryside, Syria’s defence ministry said today.
Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years but has ramped up such raids since October 7, 2023.
Despite the defence, some missiles did land and, as per the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “air strikes targeted a cultural centre” and a “training facility” of the Iraqi Al-Nujaba movement in the Sayyida Zeinab area south of Damascus.
Three members of the group were wounded according to the Britain-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria.
A source within the Iraqi faction, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media, confirmed that a “cultural centre” belonging to the group was destroyed in the Israeli attack, but reported no casualties.
Al-Nujaba does “not have a declared military base in Syria,” the source added.
The Al-Nujaba movement is part of a pro-Iran alliance in Iraq that Washington has blamed for numerous attacks on its forces.
Israel continues to escalate this war in an attempt to broaden the conflict into the entire region. Despite every state calling for lessening tensions, Israel is adamant on causing its own destruction then playing victim.
