The attacks targeted the central Damascus district of Kafr Sousa and a military facility in rural Homs, according to a statement from the Syrian ministry, which said the strikes caused "material damage" but did not provide details.
Earlier in the day, Syrian state media reported that explosions were heard in Damascus "after Israel struck a residential building in Kafr Susa," the newspaper writes.
