The Israeli rocket attack on eastern suburb of Quneitra has left 3 soldiers dead and 7 others injured, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
Syrian air defenses earlier intercepted “enemy targets†over a Damascus suburb, Sana reported. The Israeli rockets came from the direction of the Golan Heights, according to Sana. Israeli fighter jets and attack helicopters struck a number of military targets in Syria on Sunday in response to rocket fire at the Israeli-held section of the Golan Heights.
The targets included two Syrian artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts and an SA-2 aerial defense battery, the Israeli military said.
“We are not prepared to tolerate fire on our territory, and we respond with great force to any aggression against us,†Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a separate statement.
No injuries or damage were reported from the attack on the Golan.
Israel captured the territory in the 1967 war and annexed it in a move recently recognised by the US but not by other countries.
