The Syrian Center for Human Rights reports Monday that 3 "foreign nationals" were killed in the missile attack on the basis of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards south of Damascus.
The Syrian Center for Human Rights reported that the missiles hit sites belonging to Iranian militias in the vicinity of Aqraba area south of Damascus. The sites are on the road leading to Damascus International Airport. Syrian air defense systems have reportedly been able to intercept at least one missile fired at the target. According to sources who spoke with the center, ambulances were observed on their way to the scene of the attack attributed to Israel. At the same time, several military checkpoints were deployed along Damascus International Airport.
According to reports in Syria, four missiles were launched from the Lebanese area and then explosions occurred in the Sida Zinab area - south of the capital Damascus. After the first wave, a second round of attack came from the Golan Heights. The official Syrian news agency Sanaa announced the operation of the air defense systems and reported falls in the Scraba area of Damascus.
The Lebanese media also reported the movement of Arab fighter jets over the country's territory. The Lebanese media claimed that it was Israeli aircraft, but no evidence was presented.
