1st LD: Israel fires two missiles into Syria's Qunaitera

Xinhua, July 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Israeli reconnaissance plane fired two missiles into a building in Syria's southern province of Qunaitera on Monday evening, Syria's army General Command said.

The missiles struck a residential building in the al-Baath city, causing property losses, the military said in a statement.

The attack comes in the framework of the Israeli support to terrorist groups in that area, said the statement.

It added that the attack will not dissuade the Syrian army from carrying out its mission against terrorism, noting that the terrorist groups in that area work to achieve Israel goals against Syria.

The Syrian government has repeatedly accused Israel of supporting the rebel groups in Qunaitera. Endit
