In a report in the early hours of Tuesday, Syria's state news agency said "two Israeli missiles came down near Damascus international airport".
The head of monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, also told AFP that "the Israeli missiles hit arms depots for
Hizbullah...
Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as
The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
near the airport".
He said the air strike took place at 1:00 am local time "without causing huge kabooms" even though they hit the weapons stores.
The observatory added that the Syrian air defence "failed to intercept the missiles".
