Syrian state media on Monday said Israel had fired missiles at a Syrian military facility in the Damascus countryside, adding that Syrian air defense systems had intercepted three of the missiles.
“Our air defenses confronted an Israeli missile attack on one of our sites in the Damascus suburbs and three of the targets were downed,” state news agency SANA said, adding the attacks happened at 11:30 p.m. Monday.
A witness told Reuters late on Monday three strong explosions were heard from the direction of Jamraya, west of Damascus. Another witness said thick smoke could be seen rising over the area.
Jamraya contains a military research facility which was hit by what was believed to have been an Israeli attack in 2013.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, from its sources, said warplanes believed to be Israeli had fired missiles into the Jamraya area through the Lebanese territories.
Israel in the past has targeted positions of Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group inside Syria where the Iran-backed group is heavily involved in fighting alongside the Syrian army.

Israel struck three Syrian artillery cannons on Saturday, in response to alleged shelling. According to the Israeli military, five projectiles entered the northern occupied Golan region, coming from Syria. However, the location of only four rockets was identified. The rockets landed in open areas, with no injuries or damage.
Israeli forces said, according to the PNN, that despite the fact the rockets that landed were spillover from the country’s civil war, the amount of rocket fire necessitated a sharp Israeli response.
A military spokesmen said, in a statement, that it “will not tolerate any attempt to harm the sovereignty of the State of Israel and the security of its residents, and views the Syrian regime as responsible for what is happening in its territory,”
On Thursday, Israeli forces struck targets in Syria, in response to firing in the occupied Golan Heights. A projectile had fallen, earlier, into an open area of the northern Golan Heights, causing no injuries or damage.
