Israel strikes southern Syria: War monitor
Published on: Saturday 18 May 2019
Israel launched strikes on southern Syria late Saturday, a war monitor said, prompting air defences into action for the second night in a row.
"Israeli aeroplanes fired at least three missiles from the occupied Golan," said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Two of the strikes targeted a Syrian army brigade which supervises the country's Quneitra province, he told AFP, while the third missile was destroyed by Syrian defences.
