"Our air defence confronted an Israeli missile attack in the southwest of Quneitra province" in the south and also in a central region, SANA news agency said.
The short statement released after midnight did not provide details on the targets. Quneitra province is near the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes targeted two military airports in central Homs province and two areas in Quneitra province where pro-Damascus allies of Lebanese group Hezbollah are present.
But the Britain-based war monitor said there were no immediate reports of a death or any material damage.

It is rare for the Jewish state to claim such strikes directly.
