IDF strikes Syrian military targets ‘in response to munitions fired toward Israel’
Israeli helicopters have attacked multiple Syrian Army positions in southern Syria, in retaliation to several projectiles fired towards the Golan Heights. At least two people were reportedly injured in the strikes.
The strikes targeted a number of observation posts late on Friday night, the IDF has confirmed, noting it had struck “intelligence gathering means” of the Syrian military. The attack, which hit outposts located in Quneitra, left two people injured, according to Syrian media.
"We hold the Syrian regime responsible & will respond to any violation of Israeli sovereignty," the IDF said in a tweet.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military said that “explosions were heard adjacent to the security fence from the Syrian side of Israel's northern border,” and that some “damage to a civilian building and an Israeli vehicle was likely caused by fragments.”
Earlier today, munitions were fired from Syria toward Israel. In response, our aircraft struck military targets in southern Syria belonging to the Syrian Armed Forces. We hold the Syrian regime responsible & will respond to any violation of Israeli sovereignty.
