It was a busy day at the other end of Israel.
[NPASyria] On Thursday, an Israeli army spokesperson stated that Israeli forces had targeted Syrian military structures in the Golan Heights, southern Syria. The spokesperson clarified that the presence of these military installations violated the disengagement agreement between both parties.

The Israeli shelling took place after an Israeli drone attack that resulted in the killing of two members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

movement in the Golan Heights earlier today.

The spokesperson added that army tanks targeted two temporary buildings used by the Syrian forces in the Ain Eltinah area, clarifying that their presence violated the disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria.

"The strike was carried out after IDF [Israeli defense forces] soldiers identified the two structures in the area of the security zone yesterday," the spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson further added that Israeli army will not accept any violation the 1974 agreement.

The agreement signed on May 31, 1974, is considered the final measure taken to end the War of Attrition between both parties, during which combat operations between Syrian and Israeli forces resumed in the Golan Heights. Negotiations were held to achieve disengagement between the two parties under the auspices of the US during the tenure of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The document was signed in Geneva at that time.
Update from the Times of Israel at 10:20 a.m. EDT:
In Syria, the pro-government Sham FM radio station said Israel’s military struck an area on the edge of the Golan Heights in the village of Hadar. It said there were no casualties.

A video published by the Israel Hayom daily showed the strikes.

Earlier Thursday, Syrian opposition media reported that an Israeli dronezap killed two people near the southern Syrian town of Beit Jinn, close to the Israeli border.

It was unclear if the two strikes were related.
More from Al Ahram:
Also on Thursday, Syrian media reported that Israeli drones targeted two people riding a cycle of violence in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the Israeli strike killed two members of Islamic Jihad, a Paleostinian hard boy group backed by Iran, near the village of Beit Jin in southern Syria.

Islamic Jihad official Ismail Abu-Mujahed denied that any of their operatives were killed in southern Syria.
More from an earlier Times of Israel article:
Two men were killed in an alleged Israeli drone strike in southern Syria on Thursday, media outlets affiliated with Syria’s opposition reported.

According to the reports, the strike took place near the town of Beit Jinn, around 10 kilometers (six miles) from the Israeli border in the Golan Heights.

The two men were reportedly riding on a motorcycle when they were struck by a missile.

They were named in unverified reports as Ali Okasha Abu Jarrah and Zaher as-Saadi Abu Alaa, and their affiliations were not known. Rumors on social media said they were members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but sources in the terror group told the Lebanese al-Ahed newspaper there was no truth to this.

There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities or pro-government media outlets on the alleged strike.
