Egorov added that five Syrian soldiers had been wounded, the antenna post of the Syrian S-125 air defense system and two warehouses with military equipment had been destroyed, and the inactive runway of the Nairab airfield was damaged.
SANA earlier reported that the strike had resulted in no casualties.
Syrian media has repeatedly accused Israel of conducting strikes in the region as Israeli forces have claimed in the past that any strikes carried out by forces were done so against alleged pro-Iranian forces deployed in the area. Iran has rejected Israel's accusations.
