Syria Accuses Israel of New Attack After China Promises Support
Syria has accused Israel of launching a new attack on the country shortly after China pledged additional support for the war-torn Arab nation that Beijing views as important for its economic footprint in the Middle East.
Following reports Monday of explosions in the country's northwest, the Syrian Defense Ministry released a statement in which an official source said that "the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression towards southeast Aleppo, targeting some sites in the Al-Safira area."
"Our air defenses confronted the aggressor's missiles and shot down most of them, and the results of the aggression are currently being checked," the statement added.
Reached for comment by Newsweek, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said that "we do not comment on reports in the foreign media."
