Syria confronts Israeli airstrikes

A Syrian military official said that air defenses shot down most of the missiles in the attack that occurred on Thursday. Meanwhile, there have been no comments from Israel on the Syrian reports.

Over the years, Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iran-linked military targets in war-ravaged Syria. However, the country has rarely acknowledged or discussed such operations.

Earlier, on Monday, Syria reported an Israeli airstrike southeast of the northern Aleppo Province. But, it did not mention details of the target.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the strikes targeted the weapons depots that belonged to the Iranian-backed militiamen operating in the Safira region. Syrian Observatory is a Britain-based information office that has activists on the ground in Syria.

The office also confirmed the Thursday strikes saying that they destroyed ammunition and weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group in the countryside.

Hezbollah group has been operating in Syria for years. The group has helped President Bashar Assad’s government reclaim control over most of the country after a devastating civil war.

Elsewhere in the country, Kurdish-led forces control a large swathe of the east after expelling the Islamic State group from the region.
