(Haaretz) - The Syrian army said on Tuesday two of its soldiers were killed and four wounded in an Israeli srike on a military outpost in the southern part of the country, near the city of Sweida.
State television said earlier on Tuesday that Syrian air defenses responded to the strike.
It reported a second attack, which it said was intercepted in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, bordering with Iraq. This attack was not attributed to Israel.
The Israeli army declined to comment.
It did not give any details about the latest Israeli strikes, one of dozens that Israel had launched in recent months against suspected Iranian targets that are spread across Syria.
Regional intelligence sources say that Israel's strikes on Syria are part of a shadow war approved by Washington and part of the anti-Iran policy that has undermined in the last two years Iran's extensive military power without triggering a major increase in hostilities.
Israel has acknowledged conducting many raids inside Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011 where it sees Iran's presence as a strategic threat.
Israeli defense officials have said in recent weeks that their country would step up its campaign against Iran in Syria where with the help of its proxy militias Tehran has expanded its presence.
