(Reuters) -Israel launched on Wednesday a series of strikes on former army barracks in Kiswa, in the southwestern Damascus countryside, two Syrian army sources and state-run El Ekhbariya TV reported, making it the second attack within 24 hours.
The Kiswa region and Jabal Manea were among the most significant military outposts used by pro-Iranian militias during the Assad era.
Israel has stepped up its incursions in southern Syria, and the latest strikes coincide with security talks between Damascus and its long-time foe aimed at reaching a deal to reduce tensions.
