Syria war: Israel 'strikes Damascus military complex
7 February 2018
Israeli warplanes have fired missiles at a Syrian military position near the capital, Damascus, Syrian media report.
A Syrian military statement said its air defence systems blocked most of the missiles, but gave no further details.
A monitor said ammunition depots in Jamraya were hit. It is the location of a scientific facility where the West suspects chemical weapons are produced.
Israel, which has acknowledged carrying out at least 100 clandestine strikes in Syria since 2011, declined to comment.
Many of the Israeli strikes are believed to been aimed at preventing transfers of advanced weapons to the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
