Syrian media reports Israeli airstrikes in the Daraa and Suwayda areas in southern Syria, not far from the Israeli border, as well as at the Mezzeh airbase near the capital Damascus.
According to the reports, the strikes targeted ammunition and weapons depots at the Khalkhalah airbase in Suwayda, several sites in the Daraa Governorate and the Mezzeh airbase.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
Earlier, the military said it was tracking weapons in Syria and working to prevent them from reaching Hezbollah or any other elements that could threaten Israel.
