Israel's extra-atmospheric Arrow aerial defense system intercepted a Houthi missile attack aimed at Eilat; Israeli air strikes targeted Iranian assets in Damascus as well.

A similar attack was carried out against Damascus International Airport this past weekend, but the airport was to resume operations on Sunday.

Targets included tunnels where Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding, military compounds and observation posts.

Hamas Izz al-Din al-Qassam broke into the warehouses five days ago, stealing communications equipment worth NIS 15 million.

“Anti-air defenses intercept unidentified objects that had entered the airspace of the southern region from the occupied territories.”

A few sources speculated that the explosion was the result of an Israeli air strike, but these were all unconfirmed.

Syrian state media claimed earlier in the day that Syrian air defenses had shot down at least nine Israeli missiles, but left out information about whether any of the missiles had hit their target.

Hezbollah denied that Israel had carried out any raids on Syria’s borders. Other than to say it was “aware” of the reports, the IDF declined to comment.

Mustafa Badr A-Din (Badreddine), the head of Hezbollah's military operations was reportedly killed by an Israeli air strike in Syria.
