On behalf of the Syrian army and its commander, President Bashar Al, an unusual announcement came out linking the latest attack to Israeli activity designed to support terrorism in the country. "The Syrian Arab army is determined to deal with the attacks against Syria in all its forms. The efforts of Israel, Turkey and all supporters of terrorism will not deter our troops from carrying out their missions until all Syrian land is resolved by the terrorist organizations."

Earlier, Syrian news agency "Sana" reported during the night on the operation of air defense systems against assault in the airspace of the Damascus region. The Arab media reported that Israel carried out the attack from the Golan Heights area. According to Syrian reports, defense systems were able to intercept some of the missiles that were launched, though large numbers of missiles hit targets, and fires erupted in those places. It is also claimed that Syrian defense systems will intercept only a few missiles, but not most.

Recall that in recent days Tehran's difficulties have been reported to fill the shortage of former Revolutionary Guards Quds Force commander Kassem Suleimani since he was assassinated by a US attack near Baghdad Airport on January 3 this year. So far, Ismail Qaani has been replaced, mostly threateningly, and even met with Hamas officials at the funeral of his predecessor in office, although his influence has not been felt so far.
