Israel sent a Christmas present in the form of missiles to Syria shortly after midnight on Christmas morning. The Syrian Arab Army air defenses confronted at 12:45 a.m. local time on Dec. 25, an Israeli missile aggression towards Midsyaf region, shooting down most of the hostile missiles, SANA reported this morning (past claims of shooting down “most” of the missiles in previous attacks seem to have been exaggerated). SANA cites an unnamed military source reporting that the missiles appear to have been fired from the air over Tripoli in Lebanon and were aimed at targets in the Masyaf region of Hama province.
A source in Tartous told Al Masdar that missiles were fired at the scientific research facility in the Masyaf District of Hama, causing a number of explosions in the process. He pointed out that while the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) air defense units were able to neutralize a number of these enemy missiles, some of the projectiles still managed to hit their intended target, resulting in material damage to the scientific research facility.
