Israeli airstrikes target Syrian regime positions near Damascus: Monitor

Israeli forces airstrikes bombed a Syrian army position south of Damascus, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said late Wednesday.

Israel has previously been accused of hitting government targets and positions of the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization, which is allied with Syria's Bashar Assad.

A source from the Syrian regime denied the monitor's claim that Israel carried out airstrikes regime outposts later on the same day.
