Israeli warplanes launched missiles from “Lebanese airspace,” the agency said, adding that no casualties or damage had been reported so far. Earlier, “explosions in Damascus” were heard, according to the same source.

For its part, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights spoke of “strong explosions in and around Damascus” during the “Israeli strikes against military positions” of the Syrian armed forces. According to this NGO, the bombing took place near “Damascus international airport” and “a Syrian air defence wing in Dumayr region”, some 50km from Damascus, where explosions in arms depots took place.

“The strikes resulted in casualties in Homs, where rescue teams were dispatched to the affected facilities,” the NGO said, without referring to a specific death toll.
