A Syrian military statement said an Israeli air strike early on Tuesday that came from the direction of the Golan Heights targeting positions in the outskirts of Damascus caused some material damage, Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported.
There was no immediate comment from Israeli officials, according to Reuters.
Since the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israeli civilians and soldiers, Israel has escalated its strikes on Iranian-backed militia targets in Syria and has also struck Syrian army air defenses and some Syrian forces.

The Israeli military said Friday that over the source of the week it had acted in Syria against targets, just days after Syrian state media reported Israeli airstrikes killed 16 people in western Syria and wounded dozens more.

"In southern Syria, the IDF targeted several terrorists who were advancing terror activities against Israel," a statement from the military said Friday but did not give further detail.

The Israeli military rarely comments on allegations that it acts in Syria and declined to comment on a New York Times report that Israeli special forces raided a weapons manufacturing site near the Syria-Lebanon border on Sunday.

On Sunday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported that Israel launched the strikes on "a number of military sites in the central region", without elaborating on what was struck.
