The south of the Damascus province in Syria was subjected to an airstrike by Israel, material damage was inflicted, the Syrian army said in a statement.
An explosion was also heard south of the Quneitra province, a SANA correspondent reported on late Tuesday, describing it as "Israeli aggression".
"At 23:50.. at night 24 November, [Israel] launched an airstrike from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights toward the southern Damascus province. Material damage was inflicted", the Syrian army said.

Last Wednesday, SANA said explosions were heard in the sky above the capital of Damascus, which the Israeli military took responsibility for, saying it struck "Iranian Quds Force & Syrian Armed Forces targets".
The attack was conducted from the Syrian Golan Heights in retaliation for explosive devices by the Alpha Line allegedly placed by Iran and Syria to hit Israeli troops, the IDF added.
Since the start of the civil war in Syria, Israel has conducted numerous attacks on its territory targeting what it claims are Iranian-backed groups allegedly located in Syria.
