Reports are still preliminary, but it does appear that Israel is once again in violation of international law, as it violates both Lebanese airspace and Syria’s sovereignty by launching another belligerent attack against Syria’s capital city of Damascus.

According to multiple reports including Syrian state media SANA, the Syrian Arab Army’s ground-to-air missile defense systems around Damascus were deployed against incoming targets.

According to Syrianna Analysis, Lebanese National News Agency reports that Israeli warplane flew at low altitude over the Sidon area south Lebanon, and proceeded to fire towards Damascus.
