Syrian media outlets report that air defenses are active over the capital Damascus, amid an apparent Israeli airstrike.
The state-run SANA news agency says explosions are heard across Damascus as air defenses engage “enemy targets.”
It does not immediately provide details on damage or injuries as a result of the alleged strike.
Syria’s Damascus International Airport was reported to have resumed flights yesterday after weeks of being out of service following repeated alleged Israeli airstrikes.
