Israel bombardment

Syria accuses Israel of bombardment

State television quoted the army as saying several rockets landed in the airport compound in Mezzeh, Reuters news agency reports.

It remains unclear if the alleged bombardment, which caused fires, has caused any casualties.

The Israeli government has previously not confirmed or denied that it carries out strikes in Syria.

It is thought to have bombed weapons shipments intended for Lebanon's Hezbollah movement several times since Syria's civil war began in 2011.
