The videos being upload, seem to show massive explosions and multiple fires across the mountainsides; maybe whole munitions dumps have gone up. 

Perhaps Israel and America have entered the Syrian civil war ? 
Not outlandish, given the regime has been making substantial gains against the rebels, so maybe they're trying to level the playing field a bit ?

Syrian state TV says Israeli rockets have hit a military research centre on the outskirts of the capital Damascus.

Huge explosions have been heard in the Mount Qassioun area of the city. The research centre there was the target of a Israeli strike in January.

Earlier, Israeli officials speaking on condition of anonymity said that on Friday Israeli aircraft had attacked a shipment of missiles in Syria.

The missiles were believed to be destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah.

Heavy explosions shook Damascus overnight. Amateur video footage posted online showed a huge ball of fire rising into the night sky above the city.

It claimed to show the explosion near the Jamraya military research facility.


"The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups, which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army," Syrian state TV said, referring to recent offensives by President Bashar al-Assad's forces against rebels.

There was no immediate comment from Israeli officials on the latest explosions.

"We don't respond to this kind of report," an Israeli military spokeswoman told Reuters news agency.

Syrian forces and rebels have been fighting around Damascus for months but with neither side gaining the upper hand.

More than 70,000 people have been killed since the conflict erupted in March 2011.
