The IDF launched missiles at targets in southern Syria late Monday night, according to a Syrian Defense Ministry official and state media.

Syrian media outlets reported that the strikes killed three Syrian soldiers, seven Iranian-backed non-Syrian militants, and one civilian, who was struck by shrapnel.

�Israeli missiles bombed the vicinity of Izraa, the Namer Brigade, the Qarafa Brigade, and Tal Mahajah in the northeastern countryside of Daraa, where the Lebanese Hezbollah forces are present,� the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor stated.

It is the first known Israeli airstrike on Syria since July 20, during which a Hezbollah operative was killed, leading to the terror group vowing to retaliate against Israel and a major escalation of tension along Israel’s northern border.

The attacks came from the direction of Israel’s Golan Heights at 10:40 p.m. Israel has not commented on the attack, per its long-standing policy of refraining from confirming strikes on Syria.
