According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, "Israeli air strikes targeted a missile battalion" near Homs city, reporting explosions in the area with no immediate word of casualties.
Israel has launched hundreds of strikes on Syria since the December overthrow of president Bashar al-Assad.
On Monday it struck the area of the southern city of Daraa, killing three civilians according to the authorities.
Last week, an Israeli air strike on Damascus hit a "command centre" of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, the military said.
The Observatory reported one fatality.
In addition to the air strikes, since Assad's fall, Israel has also invaded a UN-patrolled buffer zone on the occupied Golan Heights.
