Syrian Armed Forces Command said late February that its air defences would immediately shoot down any aircraft violating the country's airspace.
Syrian air defence systems are thwarting “hostile targets” over the city of Homs, a SANA reporter said on Wednesday.
“Explosions were heard in the city of Homs”, Al-Ikhbariya reported. They also attached a video.
There has been no further information so far concerning possible casualties in the attack.
Meanwhile, Syrian state television also reported that Syrian air defense systems were repelling an Israeli missile attack in Quneitra province. According to SANA, the attack came from Lebanese airspace and over the Golan Heights.
“The Israeli aggression on the central and southern region is taking place from Lebanese airspace and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights”, a correspondent for Al-Ikhbaria said.

“Dealing with hostile missiles, and responding to them successfully and professionally, [the air defences] prevented any of them from reaching our targeted locations”, the source said.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) refused to comment on the media reports about the airstrikes on Quneitra province.
