The Israeli army "launched an attack from the occupied Syrian Golan and from north Lebanon targeting two sites" in the Kafr Sousa district of Damascus and a military site near Homs, the official SANA news agency reported citing a military source.

SANA said a soldier was killed and seven others wounded in the strike in Homs, a central province which borders Lebanon.

Syrian state media made no mention of any casualties in the Damascus strike but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights spoke of "human losses".
