Israeli airstrikes hit southern Syria after projectile launch

Israeli jets struck military sites in Syria’s Quneitra and Daraa provinces overnight after a projectile was reportedly launched from Daraa toward the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported attacks on the 175th Regiment base and surrounding areas. Syria blasted the strikes as a "blatant violation of sovereignty," denying responsibility and accusing "external actors" of provoking unrest, according to Reuters.

The incident comes at a time when tensions have risen, with at least 56 Israeli strikes in Syria this year targeting armed group infrastructure, heightening fears of broader conflict.
