Israel launches an aerial aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
Israeli missile strikes near the Syrian capital Damascus killed two Syrian soldiers and "caused some material damage", the state news agency SANA reported on Wednesday, citing a military source.
"At about 12:25am the Israeli enemy launched an aerial aggression with bursts of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus," the source said.
Syrian air defences were deployed against the Israeli missiles and "shot down most of them", the source added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a British-based war monitor, said that three people were killed.
The Israeli military declined to comment.
