Israel carried out airstrikes in southern Syria, the Syrian Defense Ministry said, and state media reported attacks near the capital Damascus.

“Our air defense system is intercepting hostile targets in the vicinity of Damascus,” the official SANA news agency said.

“The Israeli attack targeted the outskirts of the capital Damascus,” state television reported.
