Israeli army launch a number of rockets on Syrian territory
An Israeli army helicopter launched a number of rockets towards Syrian territory, targeting the transportation directorate and the governorate building in Quneitera.


According to the SANA news agency, the attack on Thursday only caused material damage, came after an an Israeli military spokesperson said that rockets had hit northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said that the Israeli bombardments had targeted Syrian military positions in the Quneitra province and reported unspecified casualties among the Syrian troops.

Following the rocket attack on Israel, an Israeli army spokesperson said in a statment that "the [Israeli] army sees Syria as responsible for the fire, and it will pay the price for it".

Israel's Haaretz's newspaper reported that two rockets landed in the northern Galilee, and two in the occupied Golan Heights and that no damage or injuries were reported.

Since Syria's uprising began in 2011, the border area between the two countries has seen occasional violence.

Last month, Syrian activists reported that an Israeli airstrike in Quneitra killed fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement battling alongside Syrian government troops.
