The Syrian foreign ministry said the drone had hit a vehicle on a road near Beit Jinn village in the countryside west of the capital, which caused injuries among civilians.
Syrian state television reported one person was injured.
The Israeli military said in a statement that it fired in southern Syria towards what it described as a terrorist, whose activity posed an immediate threat to its soldiers. It did not say how it fired.
