No damage or casualties on Israel’s side were reported.
Shortly before the announcement, Syrian sources reported a strike on the Damascus region and said Syrian air defenses had been activated.
Specifically, SANA news said the strikes were launched from Lebanon, with the Syrian news outlet claiming that several targets were intercepted.
