Syrian media report explosions heard and air defenses being used over the capital Damascus, apparently amid an alleged Israeli airstrike.
The pro-government Sham FM radio says air defenses are engaging “hostile targets” over the area, a euphemism for Israeli Air Force fighter jets and missiles.
There is no immediate information on possible casualties or damage in the alleged strikes.
– Israeli airstrikes targeted a under-construction building in Sayeda Zainab.
– The airstrikes resulted in the complete destruction of the building.
– The air defenses intercepted one Israeli missile in southern Damascus. https://t.co/2ze5oXXUOV pic.twitter.com/LacuRZSz9m— Abd alhade alani (@abdalhadealani) November 22, 2023
