The attack, carried out at around 4:35 am, was launched from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and resulted in material damage, according to SANA. There have been no reports of casualties as of the writing of this piece.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on Monday reported that Iran-backed militias had struck the Golan Heights with rockets. The Israeli side responded by targeting five military positions in the vicinities of Daraa and Quneitra.
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on regime-controlled areas of Syria throughout its 12-year civil war, often claiming to strike pro-Iran militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group which supports the Syrian army.
Israel has intensified its attacks on Syria since October 7, conducting at least 46 strikes on Syrian territories which have resulted in 78 military elements killed, as well as five civilians, according to SOHR.
While it rarely comments on strikes attributed to it in Syria, Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not tolerate its arch-rival Iran to gain a foothold there.
The Golan Heights were previously controlled by Syria but were seized by Israel during the Six Day War in 1967 and annexed in 1981, although this is not recognized by most of the international community.
