Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed the Israeli air force conducted an air strike in Damascus on Thursday, following reports from a war monitor that an Israeli raid had killed one person in the Syrian capital.

"There will be no immunity for Islamic terrorism against Israel -- whether in Damascus or anywhere else. We will not allow Syria to become a threat to the state of Israel," Katz said in a statement.
