The
Syrian Army says two people have been killed and five others injured in an
Israeli airstrike on a scientific research center in Jamraya, near the capital
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.
The
attack was carried out against the center, which was tasked with boosting
Syria’s resistance and self-defense, "after terrorist groups made several
failed attempts in the past months to take control of the site.
"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.
The
Israeli regime claimed earlier that it had targeted a convoy of chemical
weapons in Syria.
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.
And
several international human rights organizations have accused the
foreign-sponsored militants of committing war crimes.
