The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on July 14 that it struck targets of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) overnight in response to the launch of two drones from Syria at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat a day earlier.
The targets struck during the attack included a central Syrian Army command center, infrastructure and air defense systems, according to the IDF.
A Syrian military official told the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency that a soldier was killed and three others were injured in the Israeli strikes, which targeted military sites in southern Syria and a residential building in the Damascus suburb of Kafr Sousa.
The strikes were launched from over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to the unnamed official, who said that Syrian air defenses shot down many of the incoming missiles despite the intensity of the attack.
In the July 13 drone attack, two Iranian-made Shahed-type suicide drones were shot down by Israeli fighter jets and Iron Dome air defense systems just north of Eilat.
No group claimed responsibility for the drone attack, but the IDF said it viewed the SAA as responsible for any attacks from its territory.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanese Hezbollah and other forces of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
Last November, a drone allegedly launched from Syria struck Eilat causing damage. At the time, the IDF said that it responded by targeting the group in Syria that launched the drone, without naming who was behind the attack.
War-torn Syria has for long refrained from directly responding to Israel’s repeated attacks in what appears to be an attempt to avoid a dangerous confrontation. Nevertheless, the latest drone attack on Eilat suggests that this may be about to change.
