On the morning of 17 September, Israel attacked targets in Syria. Syrian air defenses intercepted some of the missiles. The official news agency, SANA, reported that five Syrian soldiers were killed.[1]
The attacks[]
The missiles were launched from the northeast of Lake Tiberias, targeting Damascus International Airport and some locations south of Damascus.[2]
Reaction[]
The Palestinian movement Hamas condemned the Israeli attack, days after it issued a statement about continuing to restore relations with Syria, which were strained because of the movement's position on the events in that country.[3]
