Israeli jets strike 'terror infrastructure sites in Syria': army

In response to cross-border firing directed at the Golan Heights, Israeli fighter jets launched attacks against “terror infrastructure” targets inside Syria, the military said on Sunday.

“A short while ago, in response to the attack toward the Golan Heights yesterday (Saturday), IDF (Israel Defense Forces) fighter jets struck terror infrastructure sites in Syria,” the army said on Telegram.

The army announced on Saturday that two missiles shot from Syria had landed in unoccupied areas of the Golan Heights, and rocket alert sirens had sounded in the area.

On Friday, Israel also bombed targets in Syria after a drone launched from there crashed into a school in the southern town of Eilat.

During the 1967 Six Day War, Israel conquered much of the Golan Heights and eventually annexed it in a move that was never recognised by the United Nations.

Cross-border fire has also been exchanged on a regular basis along Israel’s border with Lebanon, as Israel continues its offensive against Hamas.
