Syrian media reports Israeli airstrikes near Damascus

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Syrian media report explosions heard and air defenses being used over the capital Damascus, apparently amid an alleged Israeli airstrike.

The pro-government Sham FM radio says air defenses are engaging “hostile targets” over the area, a euphemism for Israeli Air Force fighter jets and missiles.

There is no immediate information on possible casualties or damage in the alleged strikes.
