Yesterday’s attack can be seen here.
[IsraelTimes] State media says IDF helicopters struck Quneitra in Syrian Golan Heights but that no damage or injuries incurred; comes day after attack attributed to Israel killed 1, injured 6.

The IDF reportedly bombed targets in Syria after midnight on Thursday in what would be the second such strike in less than 24 hours.

State media SANA reported that Israeli helicopters bombed the Quneitra border town in the Syrian Golan Heights, claiming that no injuries or damages were incurred.

The IDF declined to comment on the reported strikes, in accordance with its policy to neither confirm nor deny its operations in Syria, save for those in retaliation for an attack from the country.

Early Wednesday, SANA reported that an Israeli aircraft carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in northern Syria that killed one person and maimed six others. It was the first alleged attack since raids last month that saw an errant Syrian anti-aircraft missile explode in the Negev desert.

Syrian air defenses engaged Israeli missiles near the port city of Latakia in northern Syria and Hama in the West in the Wednesday strike, according to SANA. The report said the casualties were civilians.

Videos posted to social media showed a large fire and several loud explosions at the scene of the blast.

SANA said the site was a plastics factory. Israel has reportedly bombed sites connected to Iran’s alleged missile production and arms depots in the areas of Latakia and Hama before.

Then too, the IDF refused to comment on the late-night strikes.

The Wednesday strike was the first reported since April 22, when a Syrian surface-to-air missile crashed to earth near the Dimona nuclear reactor.
