Several Syrian military targets have been attacked by Israel, resulting in 8 deaths and 7 injuries.

　　[Global Times-Global Network Report Special correspondent Xue Dan] On the 25th, the Syrian National News Agency quoted the Syrian military as saying that several military targets in Dar ‘a province in southern Syria were attacked by Israel, killing eight government soldiers and injuring seven others.

　　The Syrian military said that at 1: 00 am local time on the 25th, Israel launched an air strike from the direction of the Golan Heights on several military positions of government troops in Deraa. In addition to the death and injury of Syrian government soldiers, the attack also caused some facilities and materials to be damaged.

　　In this regard, the Israel Defense Forces said that the Israeli army dispatched warplanes to attack several Syrian military targets, including the Syrian military’s military infrastructure and mortar launch sites. This move was in response to Syria’s rocket launch into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on the evening of the 24th.

　　Golan Heights is a narrow strip in southwest Syria. Israel occupied this strategic place in the third Middle East War in 1967, exercised control and jurisdiction over it, and refused to return it to Syria. The international community generally does not recognize the region as Israeli territory.
