Syrian officials say that they activated air defenses amid an alleged Israeli strike on the port city of Tartus.

The officials tell Reuters that they shot down several Israeli missiles.

Syria frequently claims to have intercepted Israeli strikes, but most analysts doubt their ability to do so.

There is no comment from the IDF, which rarely comments on strikes in Syria.

The report comes as Israel has launched widespread strikes against Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon.

Syria is a major thoroughfare for Iranian arms being sent to Hezbollah.
