On Sunday, fighter jets attacked two depots near the Syrian capital of Damascus that were being used to store arms destined for Hizbollah.

The Syrian government blamed Israel for carrying out the attack while Israel, as in previous cases, refused to comment.

The two targets for the strike were buildings near Damascus International Airport and a military base close to the Syria-Lebanon border.

During and after the attack, Israeli Air Force jets were seen flying high over the area. The Syrian army general command said in a statement that the attacks were "aggression which prove Israel's direct involvement in terror within Syria alongside western nations".
