State TV described the attack as "Israeli aggression." "The missiles came from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and were "mostly" intercepted by air defenses," SANA said, citing military sources.
Witnesses reported seeing multiple explosions in the night sky over the Syrian capital. However, at least one missile managed to penetrate and cause property damage.
There have been no reports of casualties so far. Israel has repeatedly launched missiles into Syria over the past few years. On rare occasions Tel Aviv has acknowledged the attack.
