admit it. They have some routine narratives and this fits none of them:

For lethal attacks on civilians, the narrative evolves -
1) It never happened
2) Well, maybe it happened but we didn't do it
3) It appears that we may have done it by accident and we are investigating
4) It was an accident and will never happen again

For highly destructive attacks on any target that can be argued to contain one or more hostile fighters -
We successfully launched a skillful precision raid on enemy forces at (location) killing (number) with no Israeli casualties

There is no narrative for "we launched a raid on an arguably civilian target and it failed miserably", so you won't see it admitted.

Syrian air defenses intercept enemy targets near Damascus – state TV

Syrian air defenses have engaged and intercepted “enemy aerial targets” close to Damascus International Airport, according to state media reports.

Information on what exactly was intercepted or who might have been behind the reported attack was not immediately available.

The report, however, was taken down by the Syrian media shortly after release. It remains unclear, whether any attack actually took place or it was a false alarm altogether.

The city of Damascus and its surroundings have repeatedly come under attacks over the past few years, with its air defense engaging various incoming aerial targets. Syrian officials have been routinely blaming Israel for the attacks, yet Tel Aviv rarely admitted its involvement.

The most recent incident of such sort occurred late in November, when state media reported that “enemy targets” were engaged above the town of Kiswah, located south of Damascus. Origin and nature of the projectiles, however, were not confirmed officially.
