We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Attacks during daylight are rare. The Israel Defense Forces has neither confirmed nor denied the alleged attack. Syria also accused Israel of launching airstrikes against targets near the Damascus and al-Dimas airports on Friday night, which would be the first Israeli airstrike on Syria in more than a month. Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria in recent years.
