to report «iusnews»; Israeli attacks on military positions in Southwest Syria on Wednesday killed eight soldiers and wounded seven more, the Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported.
Citing a military source, SANA said Israel's "aerial aggression" targeted a number of military positions near the Southwestern city of Deraa. The strike also caused material damage, it reported.
The Israeli military has claimed it was in response to firing from Syria towards the occupied territories on Tuesday, but did not provide any further details.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
Israel has been one of the main supporters of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar Al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
On Sunday, Syrian officials said Israel has carried out aerial assaults on the Arab country’s two main airports in the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, putting both facilities out of service.
