DAMASCUS, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Debris from missiles fell in Syria's southern Daraa province on Friday amid intensifying cross-border hostilities between Israel and Iran, Syrian state media and a war monitor reported, as Damascus suspended international flights citing growing regional instability.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israeli air defense systems intercepted multiple Iranian drones over southern Syria as they flew toward Israeli territory. The group reported that fragments from two Israeli interceptor missiles landed near the towns of Inkhil and al-Sanamayn in northern Daraa. No casualties were reported.
Southern Syria, particularly Daraa province, has witnessed repeated Israeli strikes in recent months targeting sites believed to be associated with Iran or allied armed groups.
Meanwhile, Syria's state news agency SANA reported that the debris originated from two Iranian missiles that fell over Daraa's countryside as Iranian aircraft transited Syrian airspace en route to Israeli-controlled areas. The report also said the incident caused no injuries or material damage.
Amid rising regional tensions, Syria's national carrier SyrianAir announced the suspension of all flights to and from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The airline cited the closure of Jordanian and Iraqi airspace as the reason for the disruption.
In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, SyrianAir said it was closely monitoring developments and would resume operations as soon as conditions permit. Enditem
