While Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said he held Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Saharaa responsible for the shells issued in Israel, the BBC writes, photographed Telegrafi.
Despite recent indirect talks to ease tensions between the two countries, Israel has stepped up attacks on targets in Syria since Shara led a rebel offensive that overturned Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024.
“Violent blasts rocked southern Syria, especially the town of Queitra and the Dara region, following Israeli air strikes”, said the Syrian Human Rights Observatory, a UK-based monitoring group.
In a statement, Syria's foreign ministry said: “This escalation constitutes an open violation of Syrian sovereignty and exacerbates tensions in the region.
“Syria has never been and will never be a threat to anyone in the region”
It was not clear how many people were killed or injured in Israel's attacks.
Israel stressed that the attacks came after two Syrian-cut missiles fell into open areas of the country.
Israeli media reported that the attacks were the first to be issued by Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. /Periscope/
