The Syrian Army says two have been killed and five others injured as result of Israeli airstrike on a scientific research center in Jamraya near Damascus.
“Israeli fighter jets violated our airspace at dawn today and carried out a direct strike on a scientific research center in charge of raising our
level of resistance and self-defence,” the Syrian Army said in a statement on Wednesday, AFP reported.
“This assault is one of a long list of acts of aggression and criminality against the Arabs and Muslims,” the statement added.
“They… carried out an act of aggression, bombarding the site, causing large-scale material damage and destroying the building,” the army
said.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in
the violence.
The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the
militants fighting the Syrian government are foreign nationals.
