The IDF believes that pro-Palestinian militias — not Iran-backed Shiite fighters — in Syria were responsible for the firing of three rockets at the Israeli side of the Golan Heights last night, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Kan says that the IDF struck posts belonging to the Syrian military in response, specifically targeting a division commanded by Syrian President Bashar Assad’s brother in a signal to the authoritarian leader that it holds him responsible for attacks emanating from his territory.
