Israeli fighter jets targeted a military research center near
Damascus early on Wednesday morning, Syrian state news agency SANA said
citing army officials.
The Syrian army’s general command has issued a statement, saying an
airstrike was launched by the IAF targeting a military research center
in Jamraya, rural Damascus.
“Israeli fighter jets violated
our air space at dawn today and carried out a direct strike on a
scientific research center in charge of raising our level of resistance
and self-defense,” the army statement said as cited by SANA.
The
strike caused material damage to the center and a nearby building,
killing two workers and wounding five others, the statement added.
Earlier there were reports in the media of an attack by Israeli jets on Wednesday morning striking a target
on the Syrian-Lebanese border amid repeated violations of Lebanese
airspace. It is unclear whether this is the same air raid the Syrian
military is now referring to or if there were two separate assaults.
Israel has not confirmed that it has launched any attack on Syrian
territory.
