(Forelines) – According to two Syrian army sources and state-run El Ekhbariya TV, quoted by Reuters that Israel launched a series of strikes on former army facilities in Kiswa, in the countryside of southwestern Damascus, on Wednesday. Within a 24-hour span, this was the second attack.
Among the most important military outposts utilized by pro-Iranian militias under Assad were the Kiswa area and Jabal Manea, Reuters added.
