Syria: 'Israeli Strike' Hits Army Centre -- Al Jazeera
State television says Israel targeted military base on the outskirts of Damascus; no comment from Israeli army.
Syrian state television has reported that a series of heavy explosions in the capital were caused by Israeli rocket strikes.
SANA said the blasts early Sunday morning targeted a military research centre on the outskirts of the capital. The research centre in Jamraya was the target of an earlier Israeli strike in January.
"The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army," Syrian television said, referring to recent offensives by the forces of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, against the armed opposition.
The agency did not say whether there were any wounded or dead.

That awkward moment when ... Israel launches airstrikes in Syria -- Foreign Policy
My Comment: The Syrian government does not have the means to respond .... and today's strikes reveal how "neutered" Syria's air defense network has become. So much for U.S. and international defense specialists who have been stipulating (even yesterday) on how formidible Syria's air defense network is.
This Sunday morning air strike at the heart of Damascus also tells me that the Israelis have now made a tactical decision to strike critical targets of the Syrian government .... and to do so repeatedly.
