Explosions were heard in the Syrian capital early Wednesday, an AFP correspondent reported.
"At around 01:05 am (2205 GMT), the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights targeting several positions southwest of Damascus," SANA cited a military source as saying.
The source did not provide details on the targets and said the strikes "severely wounded" a soldier and caused material damage.
Syria's air defence intercepted some of the Israeli missiles, the source added.
The Israeli strikes targeted "arms depots belonging to pro-Iran fighters, and caused a fire," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor that relies on a vast network of sources on the ground.
During more than a decade of war in Syria, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes on its territory.
