Israeli warplane attacks Syrian Army in Golan Heights
2016-09-08
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Air Force carried out an Arclight airstrike in the Golan Heights on Wednesday night, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at the predominately Druze town of Hader.

According to a military source in al-Quneitra, an Israeli attack drone struck the 1st Regiment’s headquarters in the town of Hader, causing significant damage to their equipment.

The source added that no casualties were reported by the Syrian Arab Army at the 1st Regiment headquarters, just material damage to the base.

Israel’s attack on Wednesday night is their second assault on the Syrian Arab Army in the last 5 days.

The previous Israeli attack was conducted in response to a rogue mortar shell that landed in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Al Masdar naturally ignores that there was a reason Israel's jets struck. The Times of Israel illuminates:
The Israeli Air Force overnight Wednesday-Thursday hit a number of positions belonging to the Syrian army after a projectile from the neighboring country struck an open area on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights earlier Wednesday evening.

Israel has said it holds the Syrian regime responsible for all errant fire, regardless of the source, and frequently retaliates against stray missile strikes inside its territory.
