Syria’s army said on Monday the country’s air defences intercepted “Israeli aggression” over the capital, Damascus, in the latest stepped-up bombing of alleged Iranian targets inside the country over the last two months. Israeli missile strikes against several targets killed at least nine pro-government fighters, a Britain-based war monitor said.

“Nine Iran-backed militia fighters were killed” in attacks on arms depots around Damascus, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Observatory – with a network of sources inside Syria – said all the fighters killed were non-Arab “pro-government” forces, but it did not elaborate.

The Israeli military, which just began a surprise air force combat drill along the country’s northern border, said “it did not comment on foreign reports”, according to a spokeswoman. State media did not give details of what was hit by the Israeli air force.
