Israeli shelling strickes town south of Damascus
The Asharq Al-Awsat reported, according to Syrian state media, Israeli shelling struck a town south of Damascus on Wednesday evening, causing material damage.
This is the second Israeli aerial strike on Syria this month, after Israel targeted anti-aircraft batteries on February 9 in response to a missile fired from Syria.
SANA said, citing a military source: "The Israeli enemy carried out a strike with several surface-to-surface missiles" from the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, targeting the town of Zakiya at around 11:35 pm (21:35 GMT).
A war monitor said the target of Wednesday's shelling was a Syrian army post.
