DAMASCUS - Syrian state media said on Saturday air defenses had confronted a “hostile target” breaching the country’s air space west of the capital Damascus in the early hours of the morning.
State news agency SANA, quoting its correspondent, said there were reports of “air defenses confronting a hostile target breaching the skies above the area of Deir al-Asha’ir in the Damascus countryside.”
The area is close to the Lebanese border.
Syrian air defenses were activated in a similar way over west Damascus last Thursday night.
SANA suggested Israel was to blame for the incursions.
“In the past few weeks, the Israeli enemy has attacked military positions,” it said.
