Syria’s defence ministry reported on Friday that eight soldiers had been injured in Israeli air strikes near Damascus.
The ministry released a statement on Thursday night stating that the Israeli enemy launched air strikes from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a site near Damascus, injuring eight soldiers.
Israel seldom comments on specific strikes but has consistently stated that it will not allow its arch-enemy Iran to increase its position in Syria.
Since the outbreak of a civil conflict in its northern neighbor in 2011, Israel’s military has conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria, primarily targeting army sites and Iran-backed rebels.
However, the strikes increased after Israel launched its war with the Iran-backed Palestinian operative group Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7.
On April 19, Israeli strikes attacked a Syrian army location in the country’s south, according to Syria’s government and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor, while US media stated Israel had struck Iran.
Iran unleashed hundreds of drones and missiles on Israel overnight on April 13, in an extraordinary response to a deadly raid on Tehran’s consulate in Damascus, which was generally blamed on Israel.
Since March 2011, when anti-government rallies were repressed, Syria’s war has killed over half a million people and displaced millions more.
