ISTANBUL

The Israeli army early Friday struck missiles on several locations near the Syrian capital Damascus, the Syrian SANA news agency reported.

The Israeli attack was launched from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to a military source quoted by the agency.

Most of the Israeli missiles were intercepted but some caused material damage, it added.

There have been a spate of attacks in the region since the Oct. 7 Hamas offensive in Israel.
