Syrian state media reported that the country's air defenses responded to "an Israeli missile attack" south of the capital overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. The reports claimed that Israeli warplanes attacked several targets in the region, and cited military sources as saying that the strike had caused massive damage to the area.The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israeli strikes targeted sites in the suburb of al-Kiswah, south of Damascus, and near the Damascus International Airport, southeast of the city.
Arab media reports on the incident said that one of the targets was a building in the heart of Damascus, believed to house weapons Iran had smuggled into the country.
