Correspondents from AFP and Reuters reported earlier that they had heard loud explosions in the Syrian capital.

After the war broke out in 2011 in Syriathe Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes, almost all from the air, against positions of the Syrian government’s armed forces as well as their allies, the Iranian and pro-Iranian armed groups, in particular the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah.

The Jewish state, according to the APE-MPE, rarely confirms or publicly comments on these blows, but often states that it will not allow Iran, its sworn enemy, to build a bridgehead or expand its influence in Syrian territory.

The complex war in Syria, in which foreign forces and jihadist organizations have intervened, has claimed the lives of at least half a million people since 2011, destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure and turned millions into internally displaced persons and refugees.
