Air defense systems in Syria were activated in response to Israeli airstrikes south of the city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to Syrian state TV and the SANA news agency.
A Syrian army source told the Syrian news agency that air defenses intercepted most of the missiles, which were launched toward the Al-Safirah area in the northwest of the country. No casualties have been reported so far. 
An investigation is now underway regarding the results of the attack.

Lebanese television channel Al-Mayadeen claimed it was "Israeli aggression," stating that Israel's target was a factory and research center on the outskirts of the city. 
The IDF has not made a statement in response to the reported attacks.

This is the first attack attributed to Israel in Syria since the new government was sworn in last month.
This is a developing story.
