Syria Accuses ’Israel’ of Carrying Out Air Raids near Damascus

The Syrian army announced on Sunday that the Zionist entity had carried out air strikes against two government-held areas in Damascus province, one of them near the capital’s international airport.

The Syrian army announced on Sunday that the Zionist entity had carried out air strikes against two government-held areas in Damascus province, one of them near the capital's international airport.

"This afternoon, the Israeli enemy targeted two safe areas in Damascus province, namely the Dimas area and the Damascus International Airport," the army said in a statement read out on state television.

It said the strikes caused damage but that nobody was hurt.

There was no immediate reaction to the report from the Zionist authorities.

The Syrian army accused the Zionist regime of helping terrorists in Syria.

"This direct aggression by Israel was carried out to help the terrorists in Syria, after our armed forces secured important victories in Deir Ezzor, Aleppo and elsewhere," the army said.

"This proves Israel's direct support for terrorism in Syria," it added.
