Earlier, blasts were heard in and around Qusayr, a town in southern Homs province, and authorities had said they were investigating the cause.
The IDF earlier on Monday confirmed a series of strikes targeting what they said were Iranian weapons smuggling routes through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that the operations disrupted efforts to transfer arms via Syrian territory.

The strikes are also a continued effort to deplete Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, according to the IDF. Areas impacted by strikes were common for smuggling weaponry, which carried out attacks on Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.
