"Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters attacked several military targets belonging to the Syrian army, including two artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts on the Golan Heights front," the IDF said in a rare press release, noting that it also targeted Syrian Army air defense posts.

The raids came in response to the two rockets, allegedly fired from Syrian territory into Hermon in the northern Golan Heights on Saturday night, the IDF explained, posting a video of the attack.

Earlier Syrian state media said that at least three soldiers were killed and seven others wounded in two consecutive strikes attacks on Damascus and eastern Quneitra countrysides, even though the Syrian air managed to intercept several missiles.
