It is noted that all missiles and shells fired by Israeli artillery exploded near the settlement of Khodr. The target of the shelling, presumably, was the positions of pro-Iranian Shiite formations fighting on the side of the Syrian army. Possible deaths, injuries and damage were not reported.

"The Israeli adversary launched a new aggressive action against Syria and launched a missile attack on the northern part of the province of Al-Quneitra," according to agency SANA, Syrian state news agency.

The Times of Israel adds:
Syrian media reported on Tuesday evening of an Israeli missile strike on an area in the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

The state-run SANA news agency reported that "initial information indicates an Israeli missile attack west of the town of Hader
...an alternate spelling of Khodr, above ...
in the northern Quneitra countryside," adding that two missiles were fired in the strike.

Footage taken from the Israeli side of the fence shows an object flying through the air before it went kaboom!Another independent pro-opposition Syrian source in the Golan Heights claimed two separate sites were hit: one belonging to the Hezbollah terror group, and the other being the office of the Syrian First Division’s 90th Brigade commander Brig. Gen. Hussein Hamoush.

Hamoush has been previously named by the Israel Defense Forces, in leaflets dropped in the area, as cooperating with Hezbollah, with Syrian troops warned not to corporate with the Iran-backed militias in the area.
