Syrian official says Israeli strike aimed to help rebels

A Syrian military source quoted by the official state news agency says that Israel’s missile strike on a Damascus airport was an attempt to help rebel groups fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The SANA news agency reports that the attack “comes as a desperate attempt to raise the collapsed morale of terrorist groups due to the Syrian army’s blows and this aggression will not dissuade the army from continuing the war against terrorism and crushing it.”
