Syria intercepted Israeli missiles over the capital Damascus and its southern suburbs Friday, the defense ministry said, the first such attack in more than a month.
"The Israeli enemy carried out airstrikes from the northeastern direction of Lake Tiberias, targeting some points near Damascus," said a ministry statement, adding that it had intercepted most missiles.
Earlier in the evening Syria's official news agency SANA said that Syrian air defenses had intercepted Israeli missiles over Damascus and the southern region.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes targeted Syrian military sites near Damascus International Airport and in the southern countryside of Damascus.
The pro-government Sham FM radio station also said the attacks were close to the airport south of the capital.
An Israeli strike around the capital Damascus killed five soldiers in September.
In June, Israeli airstrikes put Damascus airport out of service for nearly two weeks.
Israeli airstrikes have targeted Aleppo airport in August and September.
