Syria's army said its air defense shot down Israeli missiles fired at the surroundings of the capital Damascus from the Golan Heights on Sunday evening. Other missiles not intercepted caused some damage, the army said in a statement. The Israeli army declined to comment.
Syrian opposition outlets reported that Israel has carried out two rounds of airstrikes on targets in the rural parts of Damascus. Syrian media outlets reported that the Damascus airport was attacked, as well as targets in the town of Sayyidah Zaynab and in Quneitra.
The Syrian Center for Human Rights, a London-based opposition war monitor, also claimed that the attacks were aimed at sites in those areas, which house command nodes and weapons depots belonging to Hezbollah forces and Iranian-backed militias.
It was further reported that the strikes targeted air defense force sites, and there was no immediate information on casualties.
Emad Qariqa, the new commander of Hamas' Shijaiyah battalion, was killed in an airstrike, the IDF and Shin Bet said in a joint statement Sunday evening.
