An Israeli airstrike from Lebanese territory struck an ammunition depot in the Damascus countryside and injured three soldiers Tuesday evening, the Syrian military said.

Air defenses intercepted most Israeli missiles, state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported, citing an unidentified military official. However the U.K.-based Syrian observatory for human rights that monitors the war said three targets were hit, including weapons depots belonging to Iran or its Lebanese Hezbollah proxy, and that projectiles had fallen in the Israeli-occupied section of the Golan Heights.
