Israel’s air force strikes Syria as payback for rocket attacks

Israeli air forces carried out airstrikes against military targets in Syria in response to rocket launches from the hostile neighboring country, the military said.

Israel Defense Forces shared a short video on X Sunday showing a fighter jet bombing what was described as “military infrastructure in Syrian territory.”

The airstrikes were directed at two army posts in the southwestern city of Daraa, near the Jordanian border, Syrian state TV confirmed Monday.

The raids led to “some material losses,” according to Syria’s Defense Ministry.

The goal of the early-morning attack was to destroy rocket launchers that had been used to fire into open Israeli territory Saturday, Israel’s military stated. No casualties have been reported.
