strikes 9 military targets in Syria
Nine
Syrian military targets have been hit by Israeli jets and guided
missiles, the IDF says, claiming it was a decisive response to a
series of cross-border shootings to protect the citizens of Israel.
The
strikes on targets in Golan Heights were carried out shortly after
midnight, Haaretz reports citing an IDF official, who called it a
direct response to Sunday’s deadly incident when an anti-tank
projectile fired from Syrian territory struck near the border fence
on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
“The
shooting [on Sunday] was a very serious act of provocation, and a
continuation of a series of attacks carried out over the past several
months against IDF forces throughout the border region, and in this
area specifically,” the statement reads.
A
military command headquarters reportedly was among the targets hit in
Syria.
Earlier
on Sunday, in response to the killing of Israeli teen Mohammed
Karaka, IDF artillery pounded military outposts on Syrian territory,
with speculations about possible strikes against other targets.
