Israel carried out an aerial strike targeting a main Syrian air defence base in southern Syria last night in the latest bombing campaign in Gaza on Oct. 7, Syrian army and intelligence sources said.

Citing a Syrian military source, state media had earlier said missile strikes coming from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights had targeted several sites it did not identify.

“Our air defences confronted the (Israeli) aggressors’ missiles and downed some of them with only material losses,” a Syrian military source said.

Later, a Syrian army source was quoted on state media as saying Israel staged another round of strikes after midnight near the capital but gave no details. Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Israel’s military.
