Syria Says Israel Attacked Iranian Weapons Near Damascus

Linda Gradstein

   JERUSALEM - Syria says that Israel attacked five separate targets near
   Damascus overnight with missiles from the Golan Heights. Israel did not
   accept responsibility for the attacks but news reports said the targets
   were Iranian weapons. Iran has threatened a harsh response to any
   Israeli attacks.

   Missile explosions sounded in the skies above Damascus just before
   midnight Thursday.

   Syria said the missiles were fired from the Israeli-occupied Golan
   Heights, and that Syrian forces shot down several of them. At least
   seven fighters, both Iranian and Syrian, were reported killed.
