Syrian government said that an airstrike inside its
territory on Wednesday was carried out by Israeli warplanes. This may cause the
two year conflict to spread throughout Syria and further beyond the country’s
border. Syrian Military said that a research facility in the Damascus suburbs
has been hit. They do not know the specific target yet. This attack was the
first attack in more than five years that Israel’s air force had attacked a
target in Syria. The attack killed two people and caused a huge amount of
material damage. “Israeli warplanes violated our airspace at dawn, bombing
directly one of the research scientific centers in the Jimraya district in rural
Damascus.”
