Syrian air defenses reportedly intercepted Israeli missiles over the city of Homs, state news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.
“The air defenses shot down a number of missiles before they reached their targets,” official news agency SANA reported, without identifying the targets in Homs province. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
A military source was quoted as saying that the rockets were fired by the Israeli air force from Lebanese airspace.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the target was a military airport where Iranian forces are present.
