Israel strikes back at Syria after rockets hit northern village

Newscast Media DAMASCUS—Israeli warplanes bombed an area in Syria’s southwestern
province of Quneitra on Thursday, after Israel's military claimed four rockets
fired from Syrian soil hit the northern occupied territories.
The
fresh airstrikes against Syria came after the Israeli military said in a
statement earlier Thursday that “four rockets were launched from the
Syrian Golan Heights, landing in the Upper Galilee” mountainous area
near the Lebanese border and the Israeli-occupied side of Golan.
A one-line statement posted on the Twitter account of the Israeli occupation forces said no injuries were reported.
Israeli
media had issued conflicting reports about the number and origin of the
rockets. Initial reports had said only two rockets were fired, and they
came from Lebanon.
Ynet news said in its latest report that two
rockets landed in Galilee and two others in the Israeli-side of the
occupied Golan Heights.
“The rockets prompted alert sirens in several locations in north Israel,” the report said.
The
alert comes on the same day that ‘Israel’ announced it had deployed its
Iron Dome system in the south in response to warnings, Ynet reported.
The Israeli army also released a statement, saying, "This was the work of (Palestinian) Islamic Jihad...and we consider the Syrian government responsible for the firing and it will suffer the consequences." But the resistance movement rebuffed the Israeli claims denying the allegations. Add Comments>>
