"Israeli" helicopters fired missiles at southern Syria, Syrian state media reported on the night of Thursday to Friday, days after similar raids attributed to the Hebrew state. "From the occupied Golan airspace, Israeli enemy helicopters attacked positions in the southern region with several missiles , " the official Sana news agency reported shortly after midnight on Friday. The agency does not specify the nature of the targets but mentions "material damage only" .

Monday shortly before dawn, air strikes imputed to Israel by Syria targeted the surroundings of Damascus. Three civilians were killed in missile shells that hit their homes, Sana said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH), which also reported these raids, refers to "military positions of regime forces and pro-Iran militias" in the two neighboring provinces of Deraa and Qouneitra, which adjoin the Golan.
Since the start of the conflict in Syria in 2011, Israel has carried out numerous raids against the Syrian ruling forces but also its allies, Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah, two enemies of the Hebrew state. The latter, who rarely confirms his operations in Syria, regularly insists that he will not let Syria become the bridgehead of Tehran.
