Syria’s state news agency has quoted a Syrian military
source as saying that an Israeli army helicopter launched a
number of rockets towards Syrian territory, targeting the
transportation directorate and the governorate building in
Quneitera. Aljazeera has more:
The attack on Thursday, which the SANA
news agency said only caused material
damage, came after an an Israeli military
spokesperson said that rockets had hit
northern Israel and the occupied
Golan Heights.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a
UK-based monitoring group, said that the
Israeli bombardments had targeted Syrian
military positions in the Quneitra province
and reported unspecified casualties among
the Syrian troops. Following the rocket
attack on Israel, an Israeli army
spokesperson said in a statment that “the
[Israeli] army sees Syria as responsible for
the fire, and it will pay the price for it”.
Israel’s Haaretz’s newspaper reported that
two rockets landed in the northern Galilee,
and two in the occupied Golan Heights and
that no damage or injuries were
reported. Since Syria’s uprising began in
2011, the border area between the two
countries has seen occasional violence.
Last month, Syrian activists reported that an
Israeli airstrike in Quneitra killed fighters
from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement
battling alongside Syrian government troops.
