AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The blasts heard Monday night near the holy shrine of Hazrat Zeynab (SA) in a suburb of Damascus were caused by an Israeli bombing, sources said.
Al-Mayadeen news network cited the sources as saying that the Israeli regime’s warplanes bombed the electronic warfare headquarters in al-Bahdaliya, near the holy mausoleum on Monday evening.
Earlier, there had been reports of loud explosions in the Zeynabiya District, where the holy shrine is located.
On Sunday, foreign-backed militants stormed the Syrian capital Damascus after scoring major gains in the Arab country’s north around two weeks following their staging a resurgence there.
Amid the militants’ attempts to stage a comeback in the country, reports would point to their receiving strong support on the part of the Israeli regime, Turkey, and some Western states, which have been acting as the main backers of anti-Damascus outfits since the outbreak of foreign-backed militancy in Syria in 2011.
The Israeli military also began stepping up its attacks on the Syrian territory in the run-up to the militant takeover, and continues to escalate the aggression.
Syrian media reports say Israeli warplanes have carried out dozens of attacks across the country, including in the capital, Damascus, and in the port city of Latakia.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said there were more than 100 strikes on various targets.
A war monitor reported that at least two Syrian civilians have been killed in the Israeli onslaught.
