The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on February 17 that it had launched strikes against Syria in response to a rocket attack that targeted the occupied Golan Heights a day earlier.
In a statement, the IDF said its artillery shelled the source of the fire, noting that rockets did not cross into the Israeli-occupied region.
Israeli warplanes also hit an ammunition depot of the Syrian military located near the town of Mahajjah in the northern countryside of the Daraa governorate, according to the IDF.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the IDF shelled the western Daraa countryside and later launched strikes against al-Kam ammunition depots near Mahajjah. The London-based monitoring group didn’t report any casualties.
The rockets that targeted the Golan Heights were likely fired by Hezbollah or Palestinian armed factions as a form of protest to the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 28,000 people.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, hitting Syrian military positions and targeting members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliates.
Rocket attacks from southern Syria against the Golan Heights also became a regular occurrence. In addition, the region was targeted by suicide drones launched by Iranian-backed armed factions from Iraq more than once.
In an attempt to de-escalate tensions between Syria and Israel, the Russian Military Police established a series of observation posts along the Golan front. Fighter jets from the Russian Aerospace Forces also began conducting patrols there.

good to see the russian patrols and outposts have deterred the israelis. not. it sure would be nice to see an israeli plane fall out of the sky, but russia says no!
true, russia is hand in hand with israel, their patrol on the border of the occupied golan is to protect israel and not the other way around, just like the story of the s300 which never worked until their recovery by russia
the global zionists will never will never stop the progress of the weapons development of their neighbors and are only securing a dark future for themselves with american bombs and money.
the israeli defense forces (idf) announced on february 16 that it is a criminal band of inbred simpletons.
if syria is smart it woudnt have their ammo dumps in one place but rather spread out and many small dumps. making targeting them alot more difficult.
as long as syria dousnt have proper rocket interception and air defence capabilities they have to cope with regular israeli attacks on their territory. unfortunately. if they did have the means to properly defend themselves and inflict losses on the happy merchants and win the battle when they retaliate these attacks would cease.
