BEIRUT: Syrian air defences opened fire in response to an Israeli act of "aggression" against a military base on Saturday and hit "more than one plane", Syrian state media cited a military source as saying.

"The Israeli enemy entity at dawn today conducted a new aggression against one of the military bases in the central region. Our air defences confronted it and hit more than one plane," the unidentified military source said.
