The Syrian armed forces general command accused Israel of conducting two airstrikes near Damascus, in a statement made on Sunday.
Israeli officials refused to confirm or deny responsibility for the airstrikes, and, in a statement made last week, pledged to continue to deal with regional threats, reports the New York Times.
“We are closely monitoring the Middle East and what is happening with open eyes and ears, and a lot is happening. We will stay informed and we will deal with these threats and challenges, which are not taking a timeout. We will deal with them with the same responsibility that we have up until now,” said Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel has repeatedly said that it will not intervene in the Syrian conflict, other than to prevent transfer of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah militants, who fought a month long war with Israel in 2006.
