BREAKING: Israel Bombs Damascus Airport; Syria Warns of Retaliation

We Are Change

Israeli missiles have bombed the Mezzeh military airport west of Damascus, and the Syrian Army has accused Israel of supporting terrorism, according to SANA, a Syrian state news agency.

According to the report, Israeli missiles caused a large fire. So far 7 people have been reported dead, and according to Interfax, 15 people have been injured, citing local TV reports.
In contrast to SANS, Reuters reports that the blast was caused by a suspected suicide bomber.
It reportedly hit the Kafr Sousa local, which is a closely guarded space with Syria’s key safety installations located there, Reuters reported.
Several videos uploaded to twitter show a massive raging fire.

The Syrian Arab Army has promised there will be retaliation for the acts of aggression and said that there will be repercussions for Israel for the “flagrant attack” on the military base, state TV reported, citing a Syrian army command spokesman. It also linked the alleged strike to Israel’s “support of terrorist groups.”

Tensions have been building up between Syria and Israel the last couple months.

This is the second time in two months that Israel has attacked Syria. On Dec. 7, SANA reported that “several surface-to-surface missiles” were launched by the Israeli Defense Forces from Golan Heights.

“At 3 a.m., the Israeli enemy fired several surface-to-surface missiles from inside occupied territory,” SANA said.
