Israel’s strikes targeted military sites in Damascus and its countryside.
“Israeli strikes destroyed a scientific institute” and
other related military facilities in Barzeh, in northern Damascus, and targeted
a “military airport” in the capital’s countryside, it said.
Strikes also targeted “Scud ballistic missile
warehouses” and launchers in the Qalamun area, as well as “rockets, depots and
tunnels under the mountain”, according to the war monitoring group.
Israel air strikes on Friday targeted “a missile base
at the top of Damascus’s Mount Qasyun”, the group said, as well as an airport
in southern Sweida province and “defence and research labs in Masyaf”, in Hama
province.
