The December 2014 Rif Dimashq airstrikes were a series of aerial attacks made on targets in Syria on 7 December 2014. The targets were a military area in Al-Dimas and the Damascus International Airport area.[1]
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the attack near the Damascus International Airport targeted a depot for newly arrived weapons at a military facility that is part of the airport. The attack at Al-Dimas targeted weapons depots in hangars around a small air base.[2] Ten explosions were heard at Al-Dimas and the Syrian Army stated that some installations were damaged.[4] According to the Syrian Opposition, three Hezbollah members were killed by the strikes in Al-Dimas.[3] Syria claimed that an unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down.[citation needed]
During the attack, Syrian air defenses fired four surface-to-air missiles, hitting at least one of the Israeli Popeye missiles, the remnants of which fell into rebel-held territory in Al-Harra.[5][6][better source needed]
