A Syrian anti-aircraft missile has exploded in southern Israel, only 30km (20 miles) from a secret nuclear site.
Warning sirens went off before a loud explosion was heard in the Dimona area. No injuries or damage were reported.
The Israeli military said the missile was one of several that had earlier been fired towards an Israeli aircraft. It responded by attacking several air defence batteries in Syria.
Syria’s military said Israeli missiles targeted sites around Damascus.
