Syria Says Israeli Missiles on Damascus Launched from Lebanese Airspace
The Israeli air force fired two missiles at dawn on Wednesday that hit near Damascus, which Syrian state television said were launched from Lebanese airspace.
The airstrikes caused no casualties, the television said.
"The air force of the Israeli enemy today launched two missiles from Lebanese air space," it said, adding that they hit the Sabbura area west of Damascus.
Israel, which is technically still at war with Syria, has sought to limit its involvement in its neighbor’s five-year conflict.
But it has carried out sporadic sorties against Lebanon's Hizbullah inside Syria, which has forces fighting in support of the Damascus government.
