Israel has launched an airstrike into Syria, apparently targeting a suspected weapons site, the Associated Press reported, citing US officials.
The strike occurred overnight on Thursday into Friday, the officials told the AP.
It did not appear that a chemical weapons site was targeted, the officials said, and one official said the strike appeared to have hit a warehouse.
The US officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly.
Israel has targeted weapons in the past that it believes are being delivered to the Lebanon-based movement Hezbollah.
Earlier this week, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his group would assist Syrian President Bashar Assad if needed in the effort to put down a 2-year-old uprising.
Israeli embassy spokesman Aaron Sagui would not comment on Friday night specifically on the report of an Israeli strike into Syria.
"What we can say is that Israel is determined to prevent the transfer of chemical weapons or other game-changing weaponry by the Syrian regime to terrorists, specially to Hezbollah in Lebanon," Sagui said in an email to the AP.
There was no official confirmation.
Syrian UN Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari told Reuters: "I'm not aware of any attack right now."
In January this year, Israel bombed a convoy in Syria, apparently hitting weapons destined for Hezbollah, according to diplomats, Syrian rebels and security sources in the region.
In 2007, Israeli jets bombed a suspected nuclear reactor site along the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria, an attack that embarrassed and jolted the Assad regime and led to a buildup of the Syrian air defense system.
The Israeli strike also follows days of renewed concerns that Syria might be using chemical weapons against opposition forces.
