Israeli army launches strikes in Syria
Jerusalem, Undefined (AFP):
Israel launched artillery strikes on Syria Sunday morning, the Israeli army claimed, after several rockets were fired from there and landed in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
“In response to the rockets fired from Syria at Israel earlier today, IDF Artillery is currently striking in Syrian territory,” the military tweeted.
A drone was also “currently striking the launchers in Syria from which rockets were launched into Israeli territory”.
Six rockets were launched towards Israel Saturday night, with two landing in the Golan Heights, the army claimed. At least one was intercepted by the Israeli air-defence system.
The 1,200 square kilometre (460 square mile) region — patrolled by Israeli soldiers and bordering Lebanon — was seized from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel later annexed it in a move that was never recognised by the international community.
