Two Israeli militias targeted on early Tuesday a position near Damascus international airport, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The strike “targeted weapons depots and warehouses belonging to non-Syrian militias loyal to the (Syrian) regime,” the Britian-based monitor said, adding it had no information about casualties or damage.

Observatory director, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP that "the Israeli missiles hit arms depots for ‘Hezbollah’ near the airport".

Syrian air defense systems failed to intercept the missiles, it added.

The war monitor said an explosion heard at 1 a.m. near the airport was caused by missiles fired by Israeli planes from the direction of the Golan Heights.

Syrian state news agency SANA confirmed the strike without giving more details,

Israel, concerned that Iran’s growing presence in Syria is a threat to its safety, has struck dozens of Iranian and Iran-backed positions in Syria over the course of the seven-year conflict.

Asked about the report, an Israeli military spokesman said: “We do not comment on foreign reports.”
