Israel attack on Damascus air base follows suicide bomb

ISRAEL attacked an air base on the outskirts of Damascus yesterday — mere miles from the site of a suicide bombing hours earlier.

Syrian military sources told the Sana news agency that missiles launched from the Sea of Galilee area struck the Mezzeh air base west of the capital, setting off explosions in an ammunition dump.

The sources claimed the latest Israeli attack was in support of foreign-backed insurgents “to raise their morale.”
