From Tuesday to Wednesday, Israel hit a series of strikes overnight, saying it targeted weapons against Syrian authorities

Israel launched two attacks after launching projectiles into Syria on Tuesday. It is not clear who is responsible for the two projectiles.

Syrian State News Agency and security sources reported a series of Israeli strikes targeting multiple locations in rural Damascus, Quneitra and Daraa. In the first attack in nearly a month, an Israeli strike killed a civilian near a village in western Syria for several days.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz had earlier said he was responsible for the launch of the two projectiles.

"We believe that the Syrian president is directly responsible for any threats and fires against the State of Israel and will receive a full response soon," Katz said.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the report on the Israeli launch has not been verified and reiterated that Syria does not and will not pose a threat to either party in the region.

"We believe there are many political parties that may try to undermine the stability of the region in order to achieve their own interests," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said.

Syria and Israel have recently had direct dialogue to ease tensions, a development of relations between the two countries in the opposite Middle East conflict.

Several Arab and Palestinian media outlets have sent responsibility for the projectiles shot by a little-known organization, Muhammad Deif Brigades, apparently referring to Hamas' military leader who died in a 2024 Israeli strike. Reuters can not verify the statement independently.

Syrian media reported earlier on Israel's strike in southern Dala, and the Syrian Foreign Ministry later said, "huge human and material losses."

Local residents say Israeli mortars hit the Wadi Yarmouk area west of Dala province, bordering the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Tensions in the region have increased in recent weeks, including reported Israeli military invasions in nearby villages, where residents have been reportedly banned from sowing crops.

Israel launched an air bombing campaign that destroyed most of Syria's military infrastructure. It has occupied the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967 and has occupied more territory after the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December, citing the concern of extremists who are the country's new rulers.
