Israel fired several missiles at targets in the area of the Quneitra border town in the Syrian Golan Heights after midnight Tuesday, Syrian state media reported.
Quoting military sources, the state-run SANA news agency said that “the Israeli enemy carried out an aggression with a number of surface-to-surface missiles” fired from the Israeli part of the Heights.
The report said the missiles targetted “some points in the vicinity of Quneitra, which led to some material losses.” There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Quneitra lies just across the border on the Golan Heights, in the demilitarized zone between the countries.
The Israel Defense Forces had no comment. Israel’s military does not comment on reports of specific strikes in Syria, save for those that are in retaliation for attacks from the country.
Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iran-linked military targets in Syria over the years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
Israel fears Iranian entrenchment on its northern frontier, and it has also repeatedly struck Iran-linked facilities and weapons convoys destined for Hezbollah.
