ALBAWABA- Syrian state television has reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the Sayyida Zeinab area south of Damascus. At the same time, explosions were heard across the Syrian capital, according to the Syrian News Agency.
Syrian media sources confirm that missiles, reportedly launched by Israeli aircraft flying over Lebanon, struck multiple sites.
The latest strikes follow a recent Israeli raid on the Homs countryside near the Syrian-Lebanese border, where Israeli warplanes hit areas in the Qusayr countryside, targeting vehicles and a crossing between the two countries, with reports indicating two casualties.
In a related statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) disclosed that it conducted a special ground operation in Syria "in recent months," during which it detained an alleged Iranian-linked operative, Ali Soleiman al-Assi.
The IDF claims that al-Assi was gathering intelligence on Israeli troops along the border; he has since been transferred to Israel for interrogation.
