Damascus, February 9 (RHC)-- Syrian air defenses responded to a missile attack targeting the capital, Damascus, early on Wednesday.  Several "Israeli aggression's missiles" were shot down around the capital city, Syrian state TV reported.

“The Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with rockets from the direction southeast of Beirut,” a Syrian military source told local media, adding that Tel Aviv also launched an attack “from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the the vicinity of the city of Damascus.”  The source said work is underway to determine whether the strikes resulted in damage or casualties.

Footage has emerged on social media purportedly showing Syrian air defenses intercepting missiles launched towards the city.  The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has yet to confirm any operations.

At least one Syrian soldier was killed and five wounded in an Israeli attack near the capital, Damascus, Syrian state media said.  

The Israeli army acknowledged it struck Syrian facilities early on Wednesday using targeting aircraft, including “radar and anti-aircraft batteries.”
