It gets stranger:

According to the IDF Spokesperson, a Syrian surface-to-air missile was fired at an Israeli aircraft and instead fell in southern Israel. It did not intentionally target a specific site. In response, Israeli aircraft hit the battery that fired the missile and several others.

Maybe conflicting info. Seems that the Syrian army were firing at Israeli jets, either intentionally or by accident but more likely intentionally since Israel was bombing at the time. They missed and the missile landed in the desert or was intercepted in the desert.

What was Israel’s primary target though? Says they took out anti-aircraft batteries but was that the reason they were in the air in the first place?

I’ll note that Russia sent a suicide drone into a Syrian based ISIS convoy the other day, killing perhaps as many as 200 people if I got the story right.
