The Syrian army has fired at least four surface-to-air missiles at Israeli aircraft as the regime launched an attack against the western countryside of Syrias capital Damascus, reports say.
The Arabic-language al-Masdar news agency, citing an unnamed source, said the Syrian military's anti-aircraft missiles were fired from the Mezzeh Airbase in rural Damascus in the early hours of Saturday.
The source added that an Israeli fighter jet was flying at a low altitude over Lebanons Baalbek region near Syria's border when the Syrian missiles were launched.
The news agency, citing an unnamed military source, reported that a number of Israeli missiles were fired toward the 1st Division ammo depot in the western countryside of Damascus, adding that the Syrian Air Defense managed to intercept some of the projectiles before hitting their designated target.
However, some of the missiles hit their intended target, causing loud explosions near the towns of Kesweh and Sahnaya, the source further added.

I did a Google search and found several sources including the Jerusalem Post prior to posting this thread. I read the article and realized that the source was very anti-Israel and mentioned that in post #1.
My apologies if this is Fake News. I’ve had an expectation of a major Israel/Iran conflict for many years.
All “sources” appear to be linked to a BS Twitter account.
Fake news?
Media strangely quiet.
I see. Yes. We’ve no idea whats going on. Which is the medias intent
it would appear so.
A flakey Twitter post picked up by NO real news sources.
Oh, and FR.
Damascus has a dire future in biblical prophecy. They’ve messed with the Jews for a very long time.
