Rhino: Agencies – The Israeli military said on Friday it carried out operations this week on targets in Syria, just days after Syrian state media reported Israeli airstrikes that killed 16 people and wounded dozens more in the west of the country.
“In southern Syria, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted a number of terrorists who were carrying out terrorist activities against Israel,” an IDF statement said Friday without elaborating.
The Israeli military rarely comments on allegations of operations in Syria, and declined to comment on a New York Times report that Israeli special forces raided a weapons manufacturing site near the Syrian-Lebanese border on Sunday.
