SANA said Israeli warplanes carried out the attack from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

The news agency said Syrian air defenses also intercepted a “hostile projectile” in Homs in central Syria.

It did not specify if Israel was behind the incident.

There was no immediate Israeli comment on the report.

On Nov. 5, the Israeli army said that its fighter jets had targeted Hezbollah weapons warehouses in Al-Qusayr city in western Syria.

Israel, which rarely comments on military operations, has conducted airstrikes in Syria since 2011, focusing on Iranian and Syrian forces and Hezbollah targets according to Anadolu.

The latest airstrikes highlight continuing regional tensions amid Israel’s military offensives in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
