The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the sound of explosions rocked an area close to the airport and fire from air defenses was also heard. The latest incident comes just over a week after Syria accused Israel of striking south of the capital, AFP reported.
Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes in Syria against what it claims are Iranian targets, many of them in the area south of Damascus, according to reports on the ground.
In October, Russia finished delivering S-300 systems to Damascus. The delivery of the systems was announced after a Russian Il-20 military plane was downed on September 17 by a missile launched by a Syrian S-200 air defense system targeting Israeli F-16 jets carrying out airstrikes in Latakia.
