Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted the Tal al-Manea area near the city of al-Kiswah, in the countryside of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
According to our correspondent, the raids included military sites and headquarters.
On Monday evening, Israeli warplanes launched three raids on military bases west of Daraa city.
SANA reported that "two civilians were killed and 19 others were injured" as a result of Israeli raids on the outskirts of the city of Daraa, in southern Syria.
Last week, an advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the Israeli regime will not tolerate the establishment of military infrastructure or the presence of armed groups in southern Syria and will take action against any attempts to solidify a foothold in the region.
Dmitri Gendelman stated that the Israeli occupation considers any military presence in southern Syria a direct threat to its security and the operations of the Israeli occupation forces.
"Israel will not tolerate any military infrastructure in southern Syria that may threaten the security of Israeli citizens or the operations of the Israel Defense Forces," Gendelman said on Telegram.
"Israel will not allow the presence of any terrorist groups or armed groups that pose a threat to its citizens in the buffer zone in southern Syria. Any attempts by the forces of the regime or terrorist organizations to gain a foothold there will be thwarted," the advisor added.
His remarks came a day after Israeli airstrikes targeted military sites in southern Syria, including radars, command centers, and ammunition depots.
Additionally, Gendelman restated the Israeli occupation's "commitment to protecting the Syrian Druze community" from any actions by the Syrian government.
