Israel conducted airstrikes in Syria, targeting points in Damascus from the direction of Beirut, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported Thursday night.
Syrian air defense systems fired against the missiles, claims SANA, while media sources reported explosions were heard over Damascus.
At the same time, Israeli citizens in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and the surrounding area heard blasts over Gush Dan, Israeli media reported.

The IDF is investigating whether the blasts were caused by a Syrian surface-to-air missile (SAM). It is possible that the missile was aiming at an aircraft, but flew into Israel and landed in the sea near the coast of Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media.
On August 20th, the Syrian surface-to-air missile system (SAM) fired against allegedly Israeli airstrikes that killed four pro-Iranian fighters in Damascus. Russian military sources claim that 22 Israeli missiles were shot down during the attack.
