DAMASCUS - The Syrian army announced in a statement on Monday that military positions in the country's southern province of Daraa were hit by Israeli airstrikes overnight.

The statement said the attacks, launched from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, caused damage to the targeted sites.

Israel reportedly launched a missile attack on Sunday night targeting several areas in Daraa province, in response to alleged rockets fired from Syria towards the Golan Heights.

The latest Israeli-Syrian escalation occurred as the Israeli military was expanding ground operations in the Gaza Strip. - XINHUA
