Additionally, the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar had earlier reported that Syria had fired two interceptor missiles that exploded in the airspace above the northern portion of the country on Friday.

The explosions were reported above the towns of Al-Qasr and Mutariba near the Lebanon-Syria border.

The report claimed they were attempting to intercept Israeli planes that had launched an airstrike on the Dabaa Airport north of Al Qusayr.
