Syrian air defenses have intercepted missiles over the capital city of Damascus, according to state media.

An initial report from SANA stated that the missiles came from the “direction of the occupied territories”  and Israeli media assumed that meant their country.

Unconfirmed reports from Damascus suggest that the strikes targeted the city’s airport. 

The Israeli military has previously launched missiles into Syrian territory. In November, a number of Israeli projectiles were shot down near military positions in the country’s south. Israeli officials later claimed that the attack was a response to rocket fire from Syria into northern Israel.
