A military source tells local media that the attack occurred at around 2:20 a.m. and caused some material damage, with several missiles shot down.

Syria blamed Israel for a strike that killed four Syrian soldiers and wounded four others early Monday, state-run media reported.

Air defenses responded to the alleged Israeli attack on the Damascus area originating from the Golan Heights, according to SANA news.

A military source told the channel that the attack occurred at around 2:20 a.m. local time and caused some material damage, with several missiles shot down.

Israel's defense establishment made no comment on the report, which it seldom does. The state has, however, said that it will not tolerate a buildup of Iranian or Iranian-backed militias in Syria.

Two weeks ago, two Hezbollah fighters and a Syrian soldier were killed in another alleged Israeli attack. Earlier last month, a Syrian anti-aircraft missile shot into Israeli territory, sparking a swift response by Israeli fighter jets.
