Israel carried out air strikes near Damascus early Wednesday wounding a Syrian soldier according to state news agency SANA.
The airstrikes left one Syrian soldier with “serious injuries and caused some material damage” the report said citing a Syrian military source.
It was reported that Syrian air defenses shot down some of the missiles.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets in government-controlled parts of neighboring Syria in recent years but it rarely acknowledges them.
The last suspected Israeli airstrike on Syria was on May 29 targeting locations in the vicinity of Damascus. Israel has also targeted the international airport in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo several times this past year often putting it out of commission.
