Syria fired rockets into Israel’s territory just a day after tensions escalated in Jerusalem, Israel’s capital and holiest city in the country. It has resulted in rising military tensions between the two countries.
Israel has now engaged itself in retaliating
Syria’s action by striking multiple military targets in the region.
Syria’s Rocket Firing
The 6 rockets fired from Syria were
conducted in two separate barrages from Saturday night to Sunday morning. Out
of these 6 rockets, 3 landed inside the Israeli territory near Meitsar town.
Civilians were relocated to safe areas.
No casualties were reported during the
attack. However, a very high potential life threat was posed before the Israeli
citizens.
One of the rockets landed in Jordan.
Further, at 3 a.m., rockets crashed on towns located in the Golan Heights of
Israel. Syria claimed that the rockets were aimed toward open areas.
Nevertheless, this cannot be a justification for firing rockets inside the
territory of Israel.
Ongoing
Action by the Israeli Military
The Israeli military has begun its
comeback operation, in which it retaliated by conducting a drone strike on the
launch pads of the 6 rockets. Meanwhile, Syrian media has also reported huge
explosions near Damascus, the capital city of Syria. The Israel Defence Forces
(IDF) have also added a statement regarding the issue, which says it “views the
Syrian state as responsible for everything happening in its territory and will
not enable attempts to violate Israel’s sovereignty.”
