The attack was launched from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting some military sites in the countryside of Damascus, said a statement by the Syrian army, adding that the Syrian air defenses had intercepted the missiles, downing several of them.
   
Meanwhile, the war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that two unidentified individuals were killed as a result of the Israeli airstrikes on military sites near the residential area of Msaakin al-Dimas and in Qudsaya suburb, northwest of Damascus.
   
Additionally, Israeli missiles also targeted military positions housing forces associated with the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group near the Sayeda Zeinab area, south of Damascus, the Britain-based watchdog group added.
   
The attack is the latest in a string of Israeli targeting of military sites in Syria, particularly those suspected of housing pro-Iran militias, mainly the Lebanese Hezbollah group.
