Syria war: Israel Patriot missile downs 'target' over Golan
27 April 2017 Middle East
Israel shot down "a target" over the Golan Heights, hours after it was accused of a missile strike at a military site near Damascus international airport.
Israel deployed its Patriot missile defence system and media reported the target was a drone.
The earlier strike had damaged what Syrian rebels said was an arms depot run by Lebanon's Hezbollah movement.
Israel said the explosion was "consistent" with its policy.
