Israel's military says it deployed its Patriot missile defense system to intercept a projectile incoming from Syria above the Golan Heights.
The military did not elaborate on what it described as a "target" in its message on Thursday night, AP reports.
Israeli media meanwhile are saying the military knocked out a drone that had infiltrated from Syria.
The incident comes after Syria accused Israel of striking a military installation near Damascus International Airport setting off a series of pre-dawn explosions.
Israel's intelligence minister Yisrael Katz would not comment on the strike but said "it absolutely matches our declared policy, a policy that we also implement."
Israel has repeatedly warned against "game-changing" weapons reaching Hezbollah in Lebanon from Syria which along with Iran supports the militant group.
