New Israeli aggression on Syria has injured eight soldiers in the vicinity of the capital, Damascus, Syrian authorities announced on Friday.
On Thursday night, “the Israeli enemy launched air strikes from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a site near Damascus… injuring eight soldiers,” the Syrian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
SANA news agency, meanwhile, quoted a military source as saying that the attack took place at approximately 10:05 on Thursday evening (Damascus time), resulting in the injury of eight military personnel and some material losses.

The strike appears to be the first Israeli strike in Syria since the April 1 killing of several top Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers in the Iranian consulate in Damascus. The April 1 strike prompted a massive retaliation by the Islamic Republic on April 13, in which dozens of drones and missiles hit dozens of targets across the Zionist entity.
