An Israeli missile has hit the western province of Quneitra in Syria, near the Golan Heights, Syrian state media reported Thursday. The village of Tal Braiqa was the target in the strikes, according to SANA.
There is no official information about casualties at the moment.
The Israel Defence Forces have previously admitted to carrying out "hundreds" of airstrikes against Syria in recent years, stressing, however, that the attacks have been aimed at countering an alleged Iranian presence in the country.
Damascus condemned the attacks, while Tehran has stressed that its presence in Syria has been limited to assistance aimed at helping the Arab Republic eliminate terrorist groups, including Daesh, al-Qaeda,* and others.
