Two Syrian civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike near Damascus early Tuesday, Syrian state media said.
The incident was the fourth airstrike attributed to Israel to hit targets in Syria in less than a week, and came a day after the Israeli Air Force downed a suspected Iranian drone in Israeli airspace.
“At 00:15 the Israeli enemy carried out an airstrike… and the attack resulted in the death of two civilians,” the Syrian state news agency SANA said, quoting a military source.
The report said the attack came from the direction of the Golan Heights and targeted several sites around the capital Damascus and the “southern region.”
SANA had earlier reported “an explosion heard in the vicinity of Damascus.”
Other airstrikes attributed to Israel in the past week have hit targets near Damascus and the central province of Homs.
One of the recent attacks near the capital wounded five soldiers, and another injured two, Syrian media said. Other airstrikes in the past month have hit the Aleppo International Airport, temporarily closing its runway.
