Israeli army says its troops shot at a target inside Syria.

A statement by the Israeli army said on Tuesday that a military vehicle was damaged by shots fired from Syria but that there were no injuries. It said that soldiers "returned precise fire".

 

Tel Aviv has recently boosted military activities in the occupied Golan Heights, where clashes between Syrian forces and foreign-sponsored militants have spiked dramatically in recent weeks.

 

The Israeli military has set up a “military field hospital” at military outpost 105 in the occupied Golan Heights to treat wounded militants fighting against the government in Syria.

 

The Israeli military has carried out three airstrikes against Syria so far this year.

 

On May 5 Israeli regime carried out an airstrike targeting a research center in a suburb of Damascus which was also targeted in another Israeli airstrike in January.

 

The May 5 attack came shortly after Tel Aviv confirmed that its warplanes had hit another target in Syria on May 3.

 

However, anti-Syria countries including Turkey and several Arab states in the region have been silent on Tel Aviv’s acts of aggression against Syria.

 

Syria has been gripped by unrest for over two years, and many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, have been killed in the foreign-sponsored militancy.
