DAMASCUS, Syria (TheStreet) -- Explosions reportedly rocked the outskirts of the Syrian capital early Sunday, and Syria's state news agency said they resulted from Israeli air attacks.

If Israel did indeed carry out an airstrike, it would be the second in three days and would mark a heightening of Middle Eastern tensions as Syria's civil war escalates.

Syria's Sana news agency reported that Israeli jets were targeting the Jamraya research center Sunday morning.
Did Israel bomb syria?
