Israel carried out air strikes in Syria near the government-held city of Homs, Syrian state media reported on Sunday, and the Israeli army later said it had responded to rocket fire.

During more than a decade of war in Syria, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes on Syrian territory, primarily targeting Iran-backed forces and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters as well as Syrian army positions.

In a statement several hours later on Sunday morning, the Israeli military confirmed it had conducted strikes. SANA had reported that Syrian air defences intercepted some missiles, and that there had been some"material" losses.
