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.

President Donald Trump was presiding over a policy meeting on the Gaza war on Wednesday with input from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Trump Middle East envoy Jared Kushner, a senior White House official said.
Israel's Foreign Ministry has publicly demanded the withdrawal of a recent famine report on Gaza, backed by the UN and issued by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
Israeli tanks pushed into a new area on the edge of Gaza City overnight, destroying houses and prompting residents to flee, witnesses said, ahead of an expected meeting on the war to be chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
