Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted that Israeli aircraft carried out an attack against Syria overnight, saying Israel "responds forcefully and with great determination against any aggression."
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency report, the country's air defenses thwarted the strike on a control center in Tal al-Hara, shooting down a number of missiles.
Located in the Daraa Governorate, Tal al-Hara is a strategic hill overlooking the Golan Heights. For President Bashar Assad's regime, the base functions as an early warning station against Israeli airstrikes.
The missile attack reportedly damaged radar systems at the site, and Israel then allegedly conducted an "electronic war" in which Syrian radars were subjected to interference, SANA added.
Netanyahu's indirect claim of responsibility for the attack was part of his speech at a memorial event for the late Israeli President Ephraim Katzir.
"We don't just retaliate. We also deny the enemy of its capabilities before it can act," Netanyahu said. "We are engaged in a systematic and consistent effort to prevent our enemies from establishing a foothold near us that would be used for attacks."
Israel has over the past several years acted against Iranian targets in Syria, saying it would not let Iran use Syria to build bases and establish a permanent military presence in the country.
Several high-profile attacks against Iranian military installations and bases have taken place in Syria over the past several years, although not all have been claimed by Israel.
Israel has warned that Iran has thousands of fighters who are participating in the Syrian civil war and that its real intention is to become a dominant power broker in the country.
