The attacks
The missiles were launched from the northeast of Lake Tiberias, targeting Damascus International Airport and some locations south of Damascus.[2]
Reaction
The Palestinian movement Hamas condemned the Israeli attack, days after it issued a statement about continuing to restore relations with Syria, which were strained because of the movement's position on the events in that country.[3]
