Israeli
warplanes have struck targets near the international airport in the
Syrian capital, Damascus, Syrian media says.
The
reports said the attack happened Wednesday morning.
There
were no immediate comments from the Syrian government on the issue.
In
October, the Israeli military launched a number of artillery attacks
against Syrian army posts in the Golan Heights.
Syria
says Israel and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri
militant groups operating inside the Arab country. […]
The
Algemeiner reports on the same subject:
According
to reports in Syrian media outlets affiliated with President Bashar
Assad, Israel Air Force jets attacked targets near the Damascus
airport, Israel’s Channel 2reported Wednesday evening.
The
report, a breaking story that interrupted the nightly news, was
neither confirmed nor denied by Israeli authorities.
Channel
2 military correspondent Roni Daniel said that Israel has made it
clear it would not allow the transfer of weapons from Iran, via
Damascus, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
This
is not the first time that air strikes in Syria have been attributed
to Israel without confirmation from officials in the Jewish state.
But this comes on the heels of meetings between Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly
held to coordinate operations in Syria — and ensure that there are
no unwitting collisions between planes from their respective air
forces.
