Syrian air defences shoot down Israeli missiles fired on Damascus: state news
Syrian air defences intercepted and shot down missiles fired by Israel in the skies over the capital Damascus, Syria's state news agency said early on Friday.
"The Israeli enemy executed an air aggression from the direction southeast of Beirut, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus," a Syrian military source was quoted as saying in a statement published on state television.
Syrian TV showed scenes of air defences shooting at targets over the city.
"Our air defence confronted the aggressor's missiles and shot down most of them, and the losses were limited to materiel," the statement said.
On the other hand, the Israeli military declined to comment on the reported strike in Syria.
