Numerous sources attributed the sites to the Israeli Air Force, including the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), which reported, “The Army Air defenses confronted an Israeli missile aggression in the airspace of Sothern Damascus, shooting down the majority of the missiles.”

Syria’s military said the Israeli Air Force “launched a number of missiles” at 9:48 pm Monday from the Israeli side of the Golan Heights at “the southern part of Damascus.
“The source added that the army air defenses … shot down the majority of the missiles, affirming that the losses were restricted to the materials.”
This a developing story.
