Israeli strikes on Syria targeted at least two sites in Damascus province on Saturday night, including a weapons depot, a war monitor said, while state media said that a soldier was wounded in the attack.
Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes on targets in Syria since the civil war broke out in 2011, mainly targeting Iran-backed forces, including militants from Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, as well as Syrian army positions.
The strikes have increased since Israel's war with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, a Hezbollah ally, began on October 7.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that "Israeli missiles" targeted a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian military and used by Hezbollah in Damascus province's Qalamoun mountains.
Another site near an army battalion in the same area was also targeted, added the Britain-based Observatory, reporting a fire at one of the sites.
State news agency SANA, carrying a statement from a military source, said that "the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack... targeting a number of points in the southern region," without specifying where.
It said that a soldier was wounded in the attack and reported "material losses," adding that air defense systems shot down some of the missiles.
