DAMASCUS, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Syrian air defenses responded to a fresh Israeli missile strike in the capital Damascus after midnight, the state news agency SANA reported on Wednesday.

People in the capital heard powerful explosions as a result of the attack and the interception of the Syrian air defenses.

The state media has not given more details, but the oppositional Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that over 12 violent explosions were heard in the capital Damascus and its countryside as a result of the Israeli strikes.

It added that the Israeli missiles landed near the international airport of Damascus and areas in the northern countryside of Damascus.

The attack is the latest in a string of Israeli strikes against Syrian military sites over the pretext that it's targeting pro-Iran militias and weapons shipments. Enditem
