Israeli warplanes launched air strikes against two security sites near Damascus on Sunday, including one near the capital’s international airport, Syria’s state-news agency reported.
The agency said Israel had committed an “aggression” against Syria by “targeting two security areas in the outskirts of Damascus.”
The agency said the two sites were in the town of Dimas, near Lebanon, and near Damascus’ International Airport, adding that there were no casualties.
Reports of the attack were earlier carried by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict, said one of the sites targeted, Dimas, was a military position.
Israel, however, has never confirmed the strikes that are believed to have targeted sophisticated weapons systems destined for Hezbollah.
