The IDF on Sunday night attacked targets belonging to the Iranian Quds Force in Syrian territory, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said.
“We warn the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli forces or territory,” it added.
Syrian media reported that the army operated anti-aircraft systems over Damascus in response to the Israeli attack.
A Syrian military source told the Russian Sputnik agency on Sunday night that the Israeli attack was “massive” and was took place in several “waves”.
“Our air defense systems immediately began to repel the attack of enemy missiles. A significant part of the missiles destroyed before they reached the targets,” the source said.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the Israeli air strike destroyed weapons depots and military posts of Iran and Hezbollah in the vicinity of Damascus International Airport and the area of Al-Kiswah and Jamraya.
The Israeli attack “caused substantial material damage amid information about human losses”, the Observatory said on its Twitter account.
