Suspected Israeli missiles hit Syria for second day in a row
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said one of its officers was killed in the attack, and vowed revenge.
Syria reported more suspected Israeli strikes early Friday morning. It was the second Israeli attack in 24 hours.
Missiles from the "Israeli enemy" hit unspecified targets in the Damascus countryside at 12:17 a.m. local time (5:17 p.m. ET Thursday), Syria's official SANA news agency reported. Syrian air defenses downed some of the missiles and the strike resulted in material damage. The attack came from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, the agency reported.
The UK-based NGO Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the strikes targeted a weapons and ammunition depot southwest of Damascus used by the Syrian military and Iran-backed forces. The observatory claimed the Syrian military downed at least one of the missiles.
A video purportedly showing the incident spread on social media.
