A series of Israeli strikes hit Syria early on March 17, targeting a mountain chain located along the country’s border with Lebanon.
The official Syrian Arab News Agency, citing a statement from a military source, said that “the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial attack from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan targeting a number of points in the southern region,” without specifying where.
It said that a soldier was wounded in the attack and reported “material losses”, adding that air defense systems shot down some of the missiles.
Later, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said in a report that “Israeli missiles” targeted a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian military and used by Lebanon’s Hezbollah in the al-Qalamoun mountain chain to the West of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Another site near an army base in the same area was also targeted, added the London-based monitoring group, reporting a fire at one of the sites.
The group, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false and inaccurate reporting, especially when it comes to Israeli attacks on Syria.
A day earlier, the SOHR and other pro-opposition news sources said that a rocket was launched from Syria towards the Golan Heights and Israel responded by firing missiles at a Syrian military site on al-Jumu’ hill in the western countryside of the southern governorate of Daraa. However, this was not confirmed by the Israeli military.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip, targeting mainly SAA sites and personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other affiliated forces.
Despite a recent increase in rocket attacks targeting the Golan Heights, Syria is yet to officially respond to Israel’s repeated attacks, likely to avoid a dangerous confrontation.
