Israeli warplanes struck a military base near Syrian capital of Damascus overnight Friday, Syrian state television has confirmed.
According to pro-Assad news oiutlets, the target of the attack was an Iranian military base near the city of Al-Kiswa, located some 13 kilometers south of Damascus.
Syria's air-defense system fired missiles at the Israeli aircraft, which reportedly launched the attack from Lebanese airspace, Sky News Arabia reported........

If I just saw it on Debka I would doubt, but Haaretz is going to be more legit when it comes to making claims about military action.
When I went to school and studied journalism they taught multiple sources. It was SOP in my ‘professional career’ in media.
Haaretz is going with multiple sources on this one.
This stuff needs to be publicized when it happens.
I am concerned that someone wants a war with Iran in the land of Armageddon (Syria).
Many nations of the world are militarily entangled in that land now from USA to Turkey to Russia etc. etc. etc.
I see the Good Book and remember how the preachers used to demonize Russia as the bad guy in a Armageddon scenario back in the 70’s on the radio.
Now I wonder if and when such an event occurs the truth will be that everyone is bad because it would be wrong to wage war. I read “all have sinned” perhaps in war in Syria “all would be sinning”.
Obama sent billions in non-dollar currency to Iran. They build out a base just a few miles from Israel counting on the Russians to give them cover.
Russia covers what Obama funded.
The propaganda Russia=Obama, Iran=ISIS and the list goes on.
Who wants us to hate Russia and why?
That should be the top priority in investigative journalism today.
In my experience living in israel, debka is more accurate on military matters than HaEretz.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The heavily botoxed 5 foot 7 Diva of Damascus — has an “election” coming up in March proving to be a bit more complicated to pull off than the initially scripted entrance into Act 3 of his presidency.
We shall see how his Syria moves play out in the Motherland, which economically and socially, is not doing too well...
Stay tuned though. Between now and 2024 bode interesting times ahead for the Russian people...

Debka is alleged by some to be inaccurate and I believe they are a bit bombastic and over the top.
I use Debka as notice to check other media sources for the accuracy of what they publish.
Some of what they publish is disinformation (on behalf of the Mossad I guess) to confuse enemies and this is where the inaccuracy of their information does come in at times.
“Haaretz” is owned by the New York Times and they have a bias, but again if its military activity they are writing about I trust them to confirm accuracy of the military activity per se, after that watch out for the bias.
Allegedly, they are back at it... the article says Syrian press says they intercepted some Israeli missiles, I doubt it.
Someone should have told Syria the same thing before 9/11.
