AFP journalists report hearing loud explosions in Damascus early Tuesday, hours after the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported around 250 Israeli air strikes on Syrian territory since the fall of president Bashar al-Assad.

According to the Britain-based war monitor, Israel had conducted more than 100 airstrikes on military targets in Syria on Monday, including a research center Western countries suspected of having links to chemical weapons production in Damascus.

SOHR, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false reporting and inflating casualty numbers as well as inventing them wholesale.
