“At about 00:42 a.m. on Sunday, the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial act of aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a number of sites in the southern region,” the source said.
It added that “air defenses intercepted the missiles and downed some of them,” and that the Israeli “aggression injured a soldier and caused material damages.”
According to a Sputnik correspondent, the Israeli strikes targeted the Qalamoun area in the countryside of Damascus.
“Israeli aircraft launched a number of guided missiles from over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and attempted to target some sites in the Damascus countryside. The interceptor missiles of the Syrian Air Defense Forces intercepted most of the Israeli missiles before they reached their target,” the correspondent said.
Hebrew media had reported hours earlier on 16 March that a number of rockets had been launched from Syria towards Israeli settlements and military positions in the occupied Syrian Golan heights, and that Israeli artillery responded with shells towards agricultural lands in the western countryside of Daraa.
