The Syrian military has held war games that included test-firing of missiles and air force and ground troop operations “similar to a real battle,” Turkish Hurriyet Daily News reported.
The move is seen as a show of force as Damascus defies pressures over its deadly crackdown on regime opponents.
Syria is under both Arab and international pressure to end its crackdown on an eight-month uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime that the UN says has killed more than 4,000 people.
The maneuvers, which state TV said took place over the weekend, came as Syria said it was still negotiating with the Arab League over the bloc’s request to send observers into the country.
