Escalation of violence: television presenter killed

Earlier, Syrian state television reported the death of presenter Safa Ahmad, describing her as a martyr who died as a result of the Israeli aggression on the capital Damascus.

The SANA agency also added that air defence systems identified and intercepted "hostile targets for the third time that night in the Damascus region." The use of this term, typical for Israeli attacks, was confirmed by the AFP agency.
