TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian Army air defense units on Wednesday morning confronted another Israeli air missile attack on a military position in Damascus province. The General Command of the Syrian Army said in a statement said that warplanes of the Israeli enemy on 3:42 am on Wednesday fired several missiles from inside the Lebanese territories on one of our military positions in Damascus Countryside, and the air defense intercepted the missiles and destroyed most of them, SANA reported. The statement added that the outrageous aggression comes in framework of the desperate and repeated attempts to raise the morale of the terrorist organizations which are collapsing in all areas and to encourage terrorists, the tools of the Israeli enemy, to continue their attacks against civilians, particularly in Damascus and its countryside. The Command affirmed armed forces’ readiness to confront any attack and to continue the war against terrorism till eliminating it and restoring security and stability to all the Syrian territories. The Command held Israel fully responsible for the dangerous repercussions of its repeated and uncalculated hostile adventures. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have yet to comment on the announcement, however, Haaretz reported, citing sources, that Israeli missiles had targeted a "research center" in the town of Jamraya, North of Damascus, Sputnik reported. There have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage as a result of the incident. The media outlet cited social media reports suggesting that three blasts had been heard near Damascus on Wednesday morning. The latest incident takes place less than a day after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid a rare visit to Golan Heights, a disputed area that was occupied by Tel Aviv during the Six-Day War in 1967 prompting harsh UN condemnation, inspecting the nearby border into Syria. During the visit, he issued a warning, saying, "We seek peace but are prepared for any scenario and I wouldn't suggest to anyone that they test us." The reported attack is not the first time Israeli Defense Forces had been targeting areas near Damascus. Thus, in December, Israeli aviation struck a target near Damascus, prompting the Syrian forces to respond with an anti-aircraft missiles' strike toward IDF jets. The latest incident took place in early January, when the Syrian government army thwarted three Israeli missile attacks on Damascus countryside. Syria reportedly warned the Israeli side about risks posed by such attacks. Israeli authorities have repeatedly recognized that the country's Air Force had attacked objects in Syria under the pretext of the threat allegedly posed by Lebanese Hezbollah, which has been considered an enemy by Tel Aviv.

More outlaw actions by the rogue regime in Tel Aviv. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
