Syria is the target of numerous Israeli strikes following nighttime missile launches.

Israel has struck multiple military targets in Syria after rockets were fired into territory it controls overnight. Israeli artillery and drones were used to hit a Syrian army compound and rocket launchers after six rockets were fired from Syria at the Golan Heights. Syrian defence officials claimed that air defences had responded to the strikes and successfully intercepted some of the missiles. Lebanon reported that the Al-Quds Brigade - an armed wing of the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement - had claimed to be behind the attacks. Israeli Defence Forces said it "sees the state of Syria responsible for all activities occurring within its territory and will not allow any attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty".

Jordan also reported that a rocket exploded in the air on Saturday evening and its debris fell in Jordanian territory. Israel seized the Golan Heights, a 1,200-sq-km (460-sq-mile) area previously controlled by Syria, during the Six Day War in 1967 and annexed it in 1981. On Friday, Israel struck several targets in southern Lebanon belonging to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which it blamed for a barrage of 34 rocket
