DAMASCUS, April 4 (Xinhua) -- A new Israeli missile strike hit military sites in the capital Damascus early Tuesday, killing two civilians, the Syrian army said in a statement.

The attack, launched from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, has triggered the Syrian air defenses, which shot down some of the missiles, it said.

Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the Israeli missiles hit the vicinity of the Damascus International Airport, an Iranian position near Sayyida Zaynab and Al-Ma'amil area in Al-Kiswah south of Damascus.

According to the Observatory, it has been the fourth Israeli attack since Thursday and the tenth since the beginning of 2023.

Israel has recently intensified its attacks on Syrian military sites, targeting Iranian military presence. Enditem
