Four Army personnel of Syria were killed in an Israeli airstrike near the capital Damascus early Monday, Syria's official media, SANA reported.
Citing an anonymous Syrian military source, SANA said: "The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial act of aggression from the direction of occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some sites in Damascus."
“Four regime soldiers were killed and another four injured in the attack,” it said, adding that the regime's air defense batteries downed some Israeli missiles.
Israel launched airstrikes on the regime's military sites and “Iranian-backed groups” since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011.
