Syrian official media quoted a military source as saying, "The Israeli enemy launched an aerial aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights targeting several military points in the countryside of Damascus."

The source said, "Our air defense systems intercepted some of the aggression missiles and shot them down," the losses were limited to material damage.
