The Israeli Air Force struck a Hezbollah weapons convoy outside Damascus on Friday, according to Syrian media outlets.
According to reports, three separate strikes were carried out near the Damascus International Airport, an area known to be a stronghold of the Iranian-backed terrorist group, The Times of Israel reports.
There was no immediate comment from Israel, Syria or Hezbollah on any of the reports. There are currently no reports of casualties or damage.
Earlier this month, Israel allegedly struck a facility in northwestern Syria, where the regime was said to have stockpiled chemical weapons and missiles, killing two people.
On Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force shot down an Iranian-built UAV launched by Hezbollah with a Patriot missile after it attempted to infiltrate Israeli airspace.
In his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian involvement in Syria and said "Israel will defend itself with the full force of our arms and the full power of our convictions. We will act to prevent Iran from establishing permanent military bases in Syria for its air, sea and ground forces. We will act to prevent Iran from producing deadly weapons in Syria or in Lebanon for use against us. And we will act to prevent Iran from opening new terror fronts against Israel along our northern border. As long as Iran’s regime seeks the destruction of Israel, Iran will face no fiercer enemy than Israel."
