|
[IsraelTimes] Air defenses said to intercept missiles near Al Harah, in area that is reportedly home to several Iranian-backed militias.
Syrian state media on Tuesday night reported Israel carried out Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s in the nation’s south, close to the Israeli border.
Local media reported that air defenses short down several missiles around half past midnight.
State news agency SANA and state TV added that the "Israeli aggression" struck al-Harra hill that is home to Syrian army posts adding that it only caused material damage and did not inflict any casualties.
According to Rooters Western intelligence sources have said the area is home to several Iranian-backed militias.
According to Ynet, explosions began around 12:40 a.m. near the Golan Heights. Then again at 1:00 a.m. two more explosions were heard. One in the Quneitra area and another in Tel al-Hara in the northwest of Daraa.
This area had long been an outpost for Russian forces but was later taken by Iranian-backed militias, according to Western intelligence sources.
Tel Haraa is a strategically located area in southern Deraa province overlooking the Israeli-held Golan Heights. It was for many years a major Russian military radar outpost until rebels took it over in 2014 before it was again recaptured by the Syrian army last year.
The zone has been a target of Israeli raids against Tehran-backed militias which have become entrenched in southern Syria and the Golan Heights near the border with Israel.
Israel attacked Hezbollah and Iranian militias in Daraa and Quneitra according to Syrian report.
The Syrian news agency reported that the IDF carried out an attack on several targets that were Iranian and Hezbollah militia sites.
New reports say that a missile fell on a base and several people have died and others wounded.
This is a developing story.
