The Israeli military confirmed striking 'a number' of Syrian Army targets in cross border raids that according to Damascus left at least three soldiers dead and seven others wounded.

Iran Press/Middle East: "Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters attacked several military targets belonging to the Syrian army, including two artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts on the occupied Golan Heights front," RT reported.

Earlier Syrian state media said that at least three soldiers were killed and seven others wounded in two consecutive attacks on Damascus and eastern Quneitra countrysides, even though the Syrian air defenses allegedly managed to intercept most of the missiles.

"Syrian air defenses have confronted an Israeli attack targeted some sites in southwestern Damascus and Quneitra," a military source told SANA.

The source told SANA that at 03,22 o'clock on Sunday at dawn, some hostile aerial targets appeared coming from the direction of the occupied Golan, immediately our air defenses confronted them and downed the hostile missiles that were targeting our positions in the southwestern Damascus.

The source added that at 04,10 o’clock at dawn, the Zionist enemy renewed its aggression by firing several missiles on the eastern countryside of Quneitra. "The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of three soldiers and the injury of seven others in addition to some material losses," SANA report continued.

The Israeli regime continues to launch airstrikes on the Syrian territories from time to time. Such aggressive moves are usually viewed as attempts to prop up terrorist groups who have been thoroughly defeated by Syrian government forces. 104/209
