BEIRUT (Sputnik) — Israel bombs Syria, when it feels falling morale of terrorists, thus encouraging and supporting them, adviser to Syrian information minister Ali Ahmad told Sputnik Friday. "When Israel attacks Damascus, it cannot be taken as an isolated case.

He added that the West and Israel did not want peaceful life to return to Syria as "functioning of the Syrian government does not correspond to the interests of Israel, and so they want to support terrorists and to strengthen them." © PHOTO: SANA Damascus Vows 'Repercussions' Following Israeli Attack on Syrian Airbase (VIDEO) On Thursday night, Israel conducted heavy bombing of Mezzeh military Airport near Damascus.
