Air defense systems in Syria were activated in response to Israeli airstrikes south of the city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to Syrian state TV and news agency SANA.
A Syrian army source told the Syrian news agency that the air defenses intercepted most of the missiles, which were launched towards the Al-Safirah area in the northwest of the country. No casualties have been reported so far.
An investigation is now underway regarding the results of the attack.

This is the first attack attributed to Israel in Syria since the new government was sworn in last month.
