Israel has fired missiles at Damascus International Airport, Syrian state media has reported.

An unnamed military source told Sana news agency on Saturday evening that the Syrian army had confronted an Israeli missile attack.

Sana quoted the source as saying that Syrian air defences had managed to shoot down a number of the incoming missiles.

The news agency posted a video of a small explosion in the night sky on a backdrop of city lights but provided no further details of the attack.

AFP's correspondent in Syria's capital of Damascus heard a loud blast late on Saturday, followed by several smaller explosions, the news agency reported.

The Israeli military declined to comment on the reports but has said it would use military action to prevent weapons transfers to its enemies.

Earlier this month, a senior Israeli military official said the army had struck more than 200 targets in Syria, focussing on Iranian weapons and other targets.

In late August, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country would take "strong and determined action against Iran's attempts to station forces and advanced weapons systems in Syria".

His statement came days after Iran and Syria signed a deal for military cooperation.

Tehran has provided steady political, financial and military backing to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as he fought back against a seven-year uprising.

They have not such enough in quantity to intercept in such large area.

Very effective argument to cover up inaction. The question is why don't they have sufficient number of missiles if they are truly interested in defending?

Attention seekers. Nobody cares about that little country.

They don't defend Iran targets.

You can bet they don't! So next time tell your shia mullahs in Iran to tone down their propaganda.

What sort of Arm Deppo is that, only one explosion and such small one ?

What sort of Arm Deppo is that, only one explosion and such small one ?

Highly doubt it. Most of SAA's arms come from Russia. Like Kornet anti tank missiles. I have yet to see any Iran arms used by SAA except 12.7 mm Sayyad sniper rifles. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Israel does 1 airstrike every month and no one ever gets killed from it. So it's like they are goody goody people who don't ever cause any harm and only seeks attention because they are small country.
