Israeli army targets military infrastructure in Syria

JERUSALEM

The Israeli army said early Wednesday that it struck military infrastructure in Syria.

The army said its fighter jets also targeted mortar launch sites in Syrian territory, Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported.

The attack came "in response to the firing of mortar shells towards Israel last night,” it said.

The Lebanese Al-Manar channel, which is close to the Syrian government, said “an Israeli aggression targeted two military sites of the Syrian Arab Army in the central countryside of Daraa.”
