The Syrian News Agency said that the Syrian air defenses responded to an Israeli aggression over the capital, Damascus.

The agency stated that the Israeli aggression was south of Damascus from the direction of the occupied Golan and Lebanon.

A German news agency correspondent reported that explosions were heard late on Wednesday night, west of Damascus.

Several violent explosions occurred in mid-February, which rocked southern and northwestern Damascus as a result of Israeli air strikes, and areas in the countryside of Damascus were subjected to similar bombardments on the third of the same month.

In recent months, Israel has intensified its targeting of military sites that it says follow the Iranian forces and groups loyal to it in several areas of Syria.

Tel Aviv rarely confirms the implementation of strikes in Syria, but the Israeli army stated in its annual report a few weeks ago that during the year 2020 it had bombed about 50 targets in Syria, without providing details about them.
