The Israeli Air Force carried out airstrikes against targets near the Syrian capital of Damascus last night, the Ynet news site reports.
The report, which does not cite any sources, says Syria did not use air defenses against the strike.
Syrian media has made no mention of the incident, which would mark the second alleged IAF strike in Syria this week.
On Sunday, a Syrian anti-aircraft missile flew across Israeli airspace and exploded over the southern city of Rahat, as IAF jets carried out strikes against targets in the Syrian city of Homs.
