Citing an unnamed military source, the agency said the attack at around 2:00 am (2300 GMT) had striking locations in central and southern Syria.

The attack prompted Syria to activate its air defences, SANA said, as Israel announced it was launching "precision strikes" in neighbouring Iran.

"Our anti-aircraft defence is confronting hostile targets in the skies around Damascus," state news agency SANA reported on Telegram.

SANA had previously reported the "sounds of explosions" in the vicinity of the Syrian capital.
