The Israeli military said Wednesday it carried out airstrikes against Syrian and Iranian targets inside of Syria in response to what it said were explosive devices placed along the border in the Golan Heights.
Syria’s state-run SANA news agency cited a military source saying the airstrikes killed three soldiers and wounded another. It called the strikes “Israeli aggression.”
An Israeli statement accused a “Syrian squad led by Iranian forces” of placing the explosives. It said the retaliatory airstrikes targeted storage facilities, military compounds and Syrian missile batteries.
