Witnesses in the area said they heard four loud explosions during the pre-dawn raid.

 

SANA, the official Syrian news agency, said Israeli warplanes "launched two rockets on Damascus countryside at dawn on Wednesday."

 

The news agency quoted a military source as saying that the "Israeli rockets were launched from the Lebanese airspace and fell in al-Sabboura area in the western countryside of Damascus."

 

It added that no casualties were reported in the strike.

 

The Israeli warplanes reportedly also struck a number of vehicles traveling on the main highway believed to have been part of a weapons convoy led by Lebanon’s resistance movement of Hezbollah.

 

Israel has struck targets in Syria on several dozen occasions since the outbreak of the conflict in 2011.
