The Israeli military says it launched strikes on weapons belonging to the Syrian government in southern Syria, hours after two projectiles were fired from Syria into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli strikes caused "significant human and material losses" in Deraa province, Syria's foreign ministry said, accusing Israel of aggravating tensions in the region.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said he held interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa responsible for the projectiles that landed in open areas in the southern Golan.
A little-known group calling itself the Martyr Mohammed Deif Brigades – a reference to Hamas's late military chief – claimed it had fired two rockets.
Israeli media reported that the projectiles were the first launched from Syria since rebels Sharaa overthrew Bashar al-Assad's regime last December, ending 13 years of civil war.
