The other year at Christmas militias supporting President Assad in Damascus were targeted by Israeli missiles.    The pro-Assad militia leader killed had a track record that included Palestinian terrorist activity against Israel.

And the tradition continued with an attack said to be on arms depots tonight in Damascus, according to the state television quoting a military official.  Three Syrian soldiers reported wounded.  Loud explosions were heard in the city.

Syrian air defenses activated and Israel shot down a Syrian missile over central Israel tonight.  The Syrian air defenses were firing missiles for some 30 minutes over the Damascus area.

Lebanese media reported Israeli aircraft operating over southern Lebanon at low altitude tonight just west of Damascus geographically.

What was targeted tonight by Israel?   Pro-Syrian government sources point to Syrian army depots with anti-Syrian government sources claiming Iranian weapons were being targeted perhaps even long range missiles.
