There doesn’t appear to be much more to say about the early Wednesday morning Israeli missile attack we noted yesterday. State media is reporting that the attack targeted a suburb of Damascus and only caused material damage. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is claiming the Israelis targeted facilities linked to pro-government militias. As far as I know it hasn’t mentioned any casualties either.
