Syrian state media on Monday said Israel had fired missiles at a Syrian military facility in the Damascus countryside, adding that Syrian air defense systems had intercepted three of the missiles.
“Our air defenses are confronting an Israeli missile attack on one of our sites in the Damascus suburbs and three of the targets were downed,” state news agency SANA said, adding the attacks happened at 11:30 p.m. Monday.
A witness told Reuters late on Monday three strong explosions were heard from the direction of Jamraya, west of Damascus. Another witness said thick smoke could be seen rising over the area.
Jamraya contains a military research facility which was hit by what was believed to have been an Israeli attack in 2013.

Whatever was left from the last raid the Israelis were taking out.
So three were downed, I’d like to know how many were on target.
Different loc.
This is the hillside science tech site where
nukes and chemical weapons are made and stored
for Hizballah and Iran.
That is outrageous breach of international law. I assume there will be no bitching if Iran hits Israel now. Lets just attack sovereign countries at will. Everyone just attack countries that haven’t attacked them!! This is very dangerous. Get ready.
fyi
Seriously? Syria is hosting terrorists and Iranian thugs both aimed at the destruction of Israel and you want them to play by the Marquis of Queensbury Rules?
Check whether this site could have a Syrian reactor on it....

Flew from Lebanon again?

I agree. Israel should give them space. That’s all they need. Let them just be in their safe space: Plan, Build, Arm and Ready...

Perhaps you’d rather we just use stern words and diplomacy like we are with N. Korea... because that works...
Just dont attack sovereign nations that have not done a single thing to you. I know of absolutely no attack by Syria and the Russians on Israel. I know of no threat by the Syrians to do so like NORKS have done to us over and over and over. That is a clear and present danger and we avert our gaze.

Israel has been doing this for years, even 4 years ago. Nothing new here.

Plus, Hezbollah is basically a proxy force for Iran, Syria must be near that as well.
Not if arms that supply terrorists that attack you come from Iran and through Syria, the Shia crescent. Everyone knows Iran supplies Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah. Syria has been a designated terrorist country since 1979 if that means anything as well.
Over at the Lebanese news website, Naharnet.com , people laugh off the idea that these Israeli missiles are being intercepted.
Sounds good, thanks! Glad to see IDF is going after those dangerous weapons labs and factories. USA has conducted over 11,200 bombing raids on Syria since obama attacked syria a few years ago , FYI, without taking out this weapons lab. ( there are at least ten countries bombing or fighting on Syria today).
Really? But the MSM (and many on FreeRepublic) assure us there are no chemical weapons in the Middle East.
I won’t pretend to know the intelligence that Israel has, and why they conducted their operation.
Though don’t forget in October Syria fired SAM batteries at Israeli aircraft.
This isn’t unprovoked.
Things are building and for very good reason.
aren’t there Iranians in there?
