Report: Israel strikes Syrian targets in response to Iranian attack

News outlets are reporting Sunday evening that Israeli warplanes attacked Iranian targets near Damascus, Syria.

The alleged attack appears to be in response to last Thursday's shelling of an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman, attributed to Iran.

Iranian militiamen were targeted in Sunday's strike.

Eyewitnesses reporting hearing explosions in the area and Syrian media said anti-missile systems were activated.
