Israel launched on Wednesday a series of strikes on former army barracks in Kiswa, in the southwestern Damascus countryside, two Syrian army sources and state-run El Ekhbariya TV reported, making it the second attack within 24 hours.
Asked for a response, an Israeli military spokesperson said: "We do not comment on foreign reports."
There was no immediate comment on any casualties and damage.
The Kiswa region and Jabal Manea were among the most significant military outposts used by pro-Iranian militias during the Assad era.
Israel has stepped up its incursions in southern Syria, and the latest strikes coincide with security talks between Damascus and its long-time foe aimed at reaching a deal to reduce tensions.
