The explosion is believed to have take place in northwestern Syria near the city of Tartus, say the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
Israel was targeting a munitions depot in the area, say reports.
The blast was measured as a 3.0 magnitude earthquake on nearby seismic sensors.
Dozens of other Israeli attacks were also seen across the day with warplanes reportedly launching pinpoint strikes.
Surface-to-surface missile depots were also targeted, according to the SOHR.
They labelled the day of attacks as “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012”.
It comes hours after more Israeli strikes on Syrian airbases lit up the country’s night sky following the fall of Assad’s brutal regime.
