The May 2013 Rif Dimashq airstrikes were a series of aerial attacks made on targets in Syria on 3 and 5 May 2013.[3] The 3 May attack was on targets at Damascus International Airport.[1][4] The 5 May attacks were on targets at Jamraya, and the Al-Dimas and Maysalun areas in Rif Dimashq (Damascus Countryside).[5] Although officially Israel neither confirmed nor denied its involvement, former Mossad director Danny Yatom and former government member Tzachi Hanegbi inferred Israel's involvement in the attack.[6] Official Syrian sources denied any attack on its soil on 3 May, but did accuse Israel for the attacks on 5 May.[7]
