IDF says latest airstrikes targeted Syrian army base, radar, artillery post
The Israeli military says the latest Air Force raids in Syria targeted a military compound belonging to the Syrian army’s 4th Division, as well as a radar and artillery posts used by the army.
The strikes were a retaliation to six rockets launched from Syria toward the Golan Heights last night and early this morning, of which three crossed into Israeli territory.
The IDF earlier responded with artillery and drone strikes targeting the rocket launchers used to fire the projectiles.
The IDF adds that it “views the Syrian state as responsible for everything happening in its territory and will not enable attempts to violate Israel’s sovereignty.”
