On Saturday, February 10, the Syrian Ministry of Defense accused Israel of attacking the country twice in the past day. According to the state news agency SANA, the ministry stated that Israel launched a missile attack from the Golan Heights towards the outskirts of Damascus early Saturday morning, with Syrian air defenses intercepting several of the missiles. The report did not specify which areas in the outskirts of Damascus were targeted by the Israeli attack. Previously, Israeli attacks in Syria had targeted positions and bases of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and several proxy groups of the Islamic Republic. In this context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in London, reported that a building belonging to Iranian proxy groups in 'Dimas' was hit in the early morning attack, resulting in three deaths. Syrian media reported that at 2 PM on Friday, February 9, Israel had targeted the outskirts of Damascus. Additionally, it was noted that a member of the Revolutionary Guard, Saeed Alidadi, was killed in an attack attributed to Israel in Damascus. The Syrian Observatory also reported that Israel launched a missile attack on the 'Mazzeh' airport, stating that this attack occurred after a weapons-laden plane had traveled from Deir ez-Zor to Damascus. The organization also mentioned that the United States likely targeted a position of Iranian proxy groups in 'Albu Kamal' in eastern Syria, near the Iraqi border. This news has not been confirmed or denied by the United States. Meanwhile, a group known as 'Islamic Resistance in Iraq,' affiliated with Iranian proxy militias, threatened to continue its attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria. This comes as the United States has responded to these attacks in recent weeks, killing several members of this militia group. The Pentagon reported that over 40 militants were killed or wounded in last Friday's attacks on groups supported by the Islamic Republic. Reuters reported that U.S.-backed forces in Syria need more air defense capabilities. A military commander of Hezbollah Lebanon was killed in an Israeli drone attack, and two commanders of 'Kata'ib Hezbollah' were killed in a drone attack in Baghdad.
