Israel carries out air strikes near Syria's capital Damascus targeting Iranian forces
In this photo released by the Syrian regime news agency SANA, shows missiles flying into the sky near international airport, in Damascus, Syria, Jan. 21, 2019. The Israeli military has issued a statement saying it is attacking Iranian military targets in Syria.
"The IDF, by Israeli aircraft, was able to thwart an Iranian attempt led by the Quds force from Syria to conduct an attack on Israeli targets in northern Israel using killer drones," military spokesman Jonathan Conricus told reporters. The army had on Thursday prevented an earlier attempt to launch the drone attack, Conricus said, without providing further details.
Syrian regime forces said in a statement that "the majority of the Israeli missiles were destroyed before reaching their targets."Since the beginning of the war in Syria in 2011, Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria, most of them against what it says are Iranian and Hezbollah targets.
