No injuries were reported in the raid that took place near the town of Bir Ajam, Alikhbariya TV reported.
Israeli forces also targeted agricultural land south of the village of Jabata al-Khashab in northern Quneitra with two artillery shells, the broadcaster said.
No information was yet available about casualties.
Israeli forces have been carrying out near-daily incursions into Syrian territory, particularly in the Quneitra countryside, detaining civilians, setting up checkpoints, questioning those passing through and destroying farmland.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated the 1974 agreement.
