Syria blamed Israeli "aggression" for an attack in the Syrian capital, Damascus, Syrian state TV said on Thursday night. The report came after explosions were heard in the vicinity of Damascus, and investigations were ongoing to verify their nature.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based organization opposed to the Assad regime, later reported that the attack was aimed at the airport in Damascus.
A terrorist stabbed two people at the Mezmoria checkpoint near Jerusalem between Har Homa and Gush Etzion, on Thursday night. In the attack, a woman, 20, was seriously injured and a man, 25, was moderately injured. The terrorist, who died of his wounds after being shot at the scene, was a 23-year-old Arab-Israeli from Jabal Mukhabar in East Jerusalem, and he arrived at the checkpoint from Israeli territory.
Government Minister Benny Gantz, a member of Israel's small War Cabinet, visited the IDF Southern Command on Thursday and after a meeting with the heads of authorities in the region addressed the state of the war and said that the IDF is ready for its next phase, and that it will be "more powerful" than "Hamas imagines."
Police worked on Thursday afternoon in several areas around the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shemona where rocket shrapnel fell. There were no injuries, but property was damaged. Police sappers isolated the crash scenes and searched for additional remains, in order to remove risk to the public.
The municipality of Kiryat Shemona later announced that damage caused in the city following the latest launches from Lebanese territory were caused by the firing of two anti-tank missiles.
Meanwhile, the IDF late Thursday afternoon fired on the sources of the recent rocket launches toward northern Israel, according to the IDF spokesperson's unit. No injuries were reported. The IDF also announced that there was no risk of a security incident after alert sirens warning of a hostile aircraft intrusion in northern Israel. The IDF struck in several areas in Lebanon on Thursday morning and overnight as well.
