On Friday, four people were martyred in the Quneitra Governorate in southeast Syria following an Israeli aggression on the area, according to al-Watan newspaper. Our correspondent revealed that an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a vehicle near the city of al-Baat in the governate.
On Thursday, following the launching of several rockets toward occupied territories, the Israeli military shelled several areas in the countryside of Damascus and Qunaitra.
The events followed another rocket attack from Syria on Israeli military sites in the Syrian-occupied Golan Heights, according to Israeli media outlets.
It is worth noting that since October 7, the Israeli occupation has escalated its attacks on Syria's international airports in Damascus and Aleppo. Israelis also launched attacks on several areas in southern Syria.
