The ministry claims that Syrian forces have intercepted 30 Israeli missiles over the past 48 hours.
Israeli attacks killed four Syrian soldiers and wounded six others, and “partially damaged the infrastructure of the Damascus international airport.
During the IDF strike, dozens of Syrian surface-to-air missiles were launched, despite clear warnings to avoid such fire. In response, Israel also targeted several of the Syrian Armed Forces’ aerial defense batteries.
