The IDF struck infrastructure belonging to the Syrian Army, including mortar launchers, in response to rocket fire earlier in the evening from Syria toward Israel, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said early Wednesday morning in a rare statement.

Syrian media reported that the strikes targeted a radar site near Qarfa in the Daraa region of southern Syria and warehouses of the 12th Armored Brigade in Izraa in Daraa.

The IDF rarely takes responsibility for strikes attributed to Israel in Syria.

Sirens sounded in the towns of Neot Golan, Bnei Yehuda, and Givat Yoav, to the East of Lake Kinneret on Tuesday evening, with the IDF saying that two rockets were launched at Israel from Syria and fell in open fields.

Israeli artillery forces struck the source of rocket fire from Syria on the Golan Heights on Tuesday evening, the IDF confirmed.
