Syrian air defense systems were activated in response to an alleged Israeli airstrike targeting the Damascus area from Lebanese airspace early Monday morning, according to the Syrian state SANA news agency. The attack marks the second airstrike in Syria blamed on Israel in the past week.

A military source told SANA that the air defense systems were able to shoot down most of the missiles, but that some managed to cause material damage without any casualties.

According to the Step News Agency, the airstrikes targeted Iranian sites south of Damascus including near Al-Kiswah, Sahnaya and Set Zaynab. Material damage and casualties were reported in Al-Kiswah and Sahnaya.

One missile hit an Iranian site in Set Zaynab, but no information was available yet the extent of casualties or damage.

According to Al-Mayadeen, Israeli aircraft were flying at low altitudes over southern Lebanon during the time of the attack.
At 2:10 a.m. EDT, the Times of Israel adds:
Syrian state news agency SANA said limited damage was caused by the strikes on the Mezzeh military airport outside Damascus, but no casualties. The airbase, reportedly used by Iranian forces in Syria, has been attacked several times in airstrikes attributed to Israel.
