DAMASCUS – In response to an earlier Syrian strike on its territory, Israeli air force bombed Monday a target in Syria, military sources said. According to Israeli army officials, an errant fire from ongoing fighting between Syrian factions hit inside Israeli territory. Reportedly, the Syrian fire had struck an open area in the Golan Heights near the Syrian-Israeli border, without causing any injuries. “In retaliation, the air force [of Israel] targeted a Syrian army launcher,” the Israeli military said on Monday.
The Israeli army has conducted dozens of airstrikes on Syria since the outbreak of the civil war there. Israeli officials have repeatedly said that those strikes were to prevent Syrian regime and allied Hezbollah militia from obtaining advanced Iranian weapons. | |
