Airstrikes in Southern Damascus on 24 February 2020 - Sputnik International

On Sunday, local media reported that the Syrian air defence was responding to a batch of "hostile targets" coming from the Israeli-controlled Syrian Golan Heights. Syrian air defence troops earlier received orders to defend the country's airspace "by all available means".

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have confirmed they conducted airstrikes in southern Damascus targeting what they called Islamic Jihad positions in Syria.

Videos capturing the airstrikes have been circulating on social media.
