The Israel Defense Forces press service refused to comment on the information about the missile strikes on the Syrian capital Damascus. This was revealed on Monday, January 2.
“We do not comment on reports in foreign media,” a military spokesman told the media.
Earlier in the day, Syrian TV channel Al-Ikhbariya reported an attack on southern Damascus by Israel. Two Syrian soldiers were killed in the strike and another two were wounded. Damascus’ international airport is also out of action.
Syria and Israel have been at war since 1948, when Israeli land was declared independent. In 1967, during the Six Day War, Israel occupied part of the Golan Heights, which had belonged to Syria since 1944.
In 1981, the Israeli parliament unilaterally asserted Israeli sovereignty over them. Periodically, the parties have attempted to reach peace, but without success.
