Quoting a military official, state media SANA said Israeli warplanes had entered Syrian airspace from the Mediterranean port city of Latakia. The material damage was so severe the airport has been put out of service.
It took Sana an hour to confirm the attack despite massive explosions heard in the area after 2 a.m. local time. No wounded have yet been reported.
Israel has reportedly carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
It has acknowledged, however, that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon's Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
Two weeks ago, an alleged Israeli attack on Damascus targeted a joint meeting of high-level officials over drone manufacturing. Iranian drones have made a splash in the Russia-Ukraine war.
