  • Israeli regime strikes Syrian tanks, post in occupied Golan Heights

Zionist regime fighter jets have carried out a series of airstrikes against a number of Syrian army targets near the Golan Heights after several mortar shells exploded in an open area in the occupied territory.

The Israeli regime army announced in a statement on Saturday that some 10 rounds of mortar, presumably errant fire from Syrian factions fighting each other, had hit around Syria’s strategic southwestern region of Quneitra near the border with Zionist-occupied Palestinian territories.

The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), citing unnamed military sources, said Israeli fighter jets had fired two missiles at a military position in the vicinity of Khan Arnabah town in the countryside of Quneitra, causing material damage.

During the past few years, Israel has frequently attacked military targets in Syria in what is considered an attempt to prop up terrorist groups that have been suffering heavy defeats against Syrian government forces.

Damascus says Israel and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups operating inside the Arab country, while the Tel Aviv regime's military carries out such sporadic strikes against Syrian government forces. The Israeli regime has even set up field hospitals to treat wounded militants evacuated from Syria.

Moreover, the Syrian army has repeatedly seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed terrorists inside Syria.
