The Israeli army announced that this morning its "Iron Dome" defense system intercepted four rockets fired from Syria towards the territory of Israel, and that there was no material damage.
Missile warning sirens sounded in the Golan Heights.
There was no immediate comment from Syria, according to AP.
Syrian state news agency SANA reported that explosions were heard near Damascus International Airport, indicating a possible Israeli retaliation strike.
The Israeli military did not comment on the explosions in Syria, but Defense Minister Naftali Bennett summoned top military officials to a meeting.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Israel Katz, stated that "Israel will act appropriately".
Israel often attacks Iranian targets in neighboring Syria, and a week ago it carried out an aerial attack on a Palestinian Islamic Jihad extremist there, but he survived the attack.
In addition, the Israeli army killed the commander of the Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip.
Judging by recent Israeli intelligence assessments, Iran, which supports the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, has decided to respond harshly to any Israeli action against its allies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently said Israel would attack Iranian targets if Tehran acted against the Jewish state.
Iranian forces have bases in Syria, and Tehran also supports the extremists of the Lebanese Hezbollah, while in Gaza it supplies Islamic Jihad with money and weapons, according to AP.
