Syrian state news agency SANA reported early Tuesday that "two Israeli missiles came down near Damascus international airport."

Al-Masdar News (AMN) cited reports stating that missiles targeted an Iranian cargo plane being unloaded at the airport. According to the reports, regime forces' air defense systems subsequently intercepted an Israeli drone in south-western Syrian airspace.

The head of the UK-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdulrahman, told AFP that at about 1:00 am local time "Israeli missiles hit arms depots for Hezbollah near the airport," adding that Syrian air defense systems failed to intercept the missiles.

There is no information regarding casualties or damage.

Some reports suggest the target was an incoming Cargo Aircraft from Iran.

Rather the cargo, than the cargo aircraft.
