Israel carries out dozens of air strikes across Syria

Syrian media reports say Israeli warplanes have carried out dozens of attacks across the country, including in the capital, Damascus.

Within the past hour there have been reports of several loud explosions in the Syrian capital Damascus. It has been reported that Israel is targeting key military installations to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of Islamist fighters. We'll go live to Damascus shortly.

Meanwhile, thousands of Syrians have been gathering outside a notorious prison to search for relatives. Syrian civil defence officials said they had searched for secret cells and basements inside the Saydnaya prison complex but had not found any. We'll report from inside the jail.

Millions of Syrian refugees are hoping to return home since the fall of the Assad regime on Sunday. We'll speak to one man who's making the journey home from Turkey.

And away from Syria, we'll continue our series hearing from this year's 大象传媒 100 Women. Today, the Olympic聽star聽Allyson Felix, the most decorated track and field athlete in history.
