HAIFA—Israel as carried out airstrikes in government-held territory near Damascus airport on Sunday, according to Syrian state-run media. It may have been a blow against weapons meant for Hezbollah, an militarized Lebanese political faction designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and its allies.
Al Jazeera English quoted Syrian state TV as saying “[T]he Israeli enemy attacked Syria by targeting two safe areas in Damascus province, namely the Dimas area and the area of Damascus International Airport,” in the attack.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the West’s main source for information coming out of the embattled country, backed up the claim. The group said 10 explosions were heard near Dimas, which is very close to the Lebanese border.
The Daily Beast contacted an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson, who said it “does not comment on foreign reports.”
