Explosions were heard in the Syrian capital, and social media footage showed a large fire at the country’s intelligence building.

Alleged Israeli air strikes were also reported to have targeted the Syrian Scientific Research Center (SSRC) in Damascus, where the Assad regime carried out its chemical weapons and ballistic missile program.

In addition, multiple Arab sources reported that Israel attacked the al-Mazeh military field in Damascus (which contains weapons warehouses) and Syrian aerial defense systems.

Syrian opposition sources quoted by Abu Ali Express said Israeli warplanes also attacked military warehouses in the Tel a-T’aleb area between the villages of Qiytah and Inkhil in southern Syria.

The Israel Defense Forces declined to comment on the reports when contacted by JewishPress.com.
