The Syrian state news agency Sana also reported two deaths and – unspecified – damage from the attacks. The Syrian army shot down several missiles. In addition, the Israeli army also attacked Damascus airport and targets in Suwaida in the south of the country, the UK-based Syrian Observatory said.

Israel regularly attacks targets in the neighboring civil war country to prevent Iran from expanding its military influence there with the help of militias. Iran and Russia are considered the main allies of the Syrian government.

Five Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers were killed in an attack by the Israeli army in Syria last week, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Revolutionary Guard is the elite unit of Iran’s armed forces and far more important than the country’s traditional army. (sda/dpa)
