However, the Damascus military said the attack was carried out from the Golan Heights, Syrian territory captured by Israel in 1967.

Israel has carried out frequent attacks against what it describes as Iranian targets in Syria.

Tehran-backed militias, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah, have been deployed over the past decade to support President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s civil war.

“Enemies of Israel are carrying out aerial aggression,” the state news agency wrote, TO YOU, citing a Damascus military source.

“Syrian air defenses shot down most of the missiles,” continued TO YOU“The attack caused the martyrdom of a soldier and some material losses.”

In 2019, then-US President Donald Trump unilaterally recognized Israel as a sovereign party in the Golan Heights. The Syrian territory was officially annexed by Israel in 1981 in a move not recognized internationally.
