Syria’s state-run media say the country’s air defenses have responded to a “hostile target” and destroyed the missile before it reached a central Syrian town.
The SANA news agency said on Friday that the projectile had entered the Syrian airspace overnight from Lebanon’s airspace, heading toward the town of Masyaf in Hama province.
The report suggested, without saying outright, that the missile was fired by Israel. SANA says the incoming projectile was destroyed before it reached its target.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
