ISTANBUL (AA) - Syrian air defense systems intercepted an Israeli missile attack early Saturday, according to the Sana news agency.

The strikes targeted military sites in the southern and central regions, a military source told Sana, adding that the attack began around 2 a.m. local time (2300GMT).

Missiles were launched from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and parts of Lebanon.

Air defenses shot down several missiles, according to the source. Efforts are ongoing to verify the full effect of the attack.
