The agency said Israel had committed an “aggression” against Syria by “targeting two security areas in the outskirts of Damascus.”
The agency said the two sites were in the town of Dimas, near Lebanon, and near Damascus’ International Airport, adding that there were no casualties.
Reports of the attack were earlier carried by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict, said one of the sites targeted, Dimas, was a military position.
A Twitter account operated by a Hezbollah-affiliated group called Mouqawama posted several pictures of what it alleged were the strikes on Dimas. It said Israeli warplanes launched at least 10 air strikes.
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper said no Israeli officials had confirmed or denied the report as yet, adding that it was unclear how reliable the report was.
Israel is suspected of having carried out a series of air strikes on areas in and around Damascus since the uprising to remove President Bashar Assad almost four years ago.
Israel, however, has never confirmed the strikes. Most of the strikes have targeted sophisticated weapons systems destined for Hezbollah.
