Syria’s state-run SANA broadcaster says Israel carried out airstrikes near Damascus early this morning, causing damage.

The report, citing a military source, says the Israeli aircraft launched their missiles from over the Golan Heights at the targets south of the capital at around 4:20 a.m.

It says Syrian air defenses responded to the Israeli incursion, downing some of the missiles.

SANA says that “material damage” was caused to the sites that were targeted, but does not elaborate further.
