Syria: Three killed in Israeli attack near capital

DAMASCUS (Agencies): Three civilians were killed in an Israeli missile attack near Syria’s capital Damascus on Monday, state media reported.

The attack targeted civilian settlements in Al-Hujaira and Al-Adliya towns, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

It also left four civilians, including a child, injured.

Earlier, the Syrian air forces intercepted Israeli missile attacks fired over Lebanese airspace towards Syrian territory by downing most of them, SANA said.

Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and more than 10 million displaced, according to UN officials.
