The source confirmed that "the Syrian air defense systems intercepted and shot down some of the Israeli missiles."
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that the bombardment targeted the vicinity of Damascus International Airport and the al-Kiswah area southwest of Damascus, where Iranian military depots are located.
Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes in Syria over the past years, targeting Syrian army positions, Iranian targets, and Hezbollah, including weapon and ammunition depots in several areas.
Israel rarely acknowledges carrying out strikes in Syria, but it has repeatedly stated that it will continue to counter what it describes as Iran's attempts to consolidate its military presence in Syria.
