According to a Syrian report, seven Hezbollah terrorists and three government troops were killed.
“Two explosions over Damascus as Syrian air defense targets reported Israeli strikes in the area,” tweeted Middle East security expert Joe Truzman on Monday night.
Truzman also posted footage of Syrian air defenses trying to stop missiles.
Hezbollah terrorists and Iran-backed militias operate in Syrian territory and remain the target of Israeli missions designed to stave off encroaching Iranian military entrenchment on the Jewish state’s doorstep.
