– Syria: Israeli rockets hit near Damascus military base:
A Syrian military source said Israeli rockets hit around the Mezzeh military airport near the Syrian capital Damascus at around 3am today.
The source said the ground-to-ground rockets caused a fire but no injuries.
The Israeli military did not comment on the report.
Syria has been locked in a devastating civil war since early 2011, when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests-which erupted as part of the Arab Spring uprisings – with unexpected ferocity.
More than 300,000 people have been killed in Syria’s conflict, and several rounds of talks have failed to produce a deal to end the fighting.
