DAMASCUS, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Syria's state media reported on Wednesday an Israeli attack on the country's southern province of Daraa, saying it did not cause any casualties.
State TV said that the strike was directed at the al-Harrah hill, which is home to Syrian army posts and a mountain south of the capital Damascus overlooking wide parts of southern Syria.
Over the years, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes against Iranian targets in Syria, which are entrenched in the south and the Golan Heights near the border with Israel.
Israel has mostly kept silent on its actions, fearing that comments might trigger an escalation.
As the birthplace of the Syrian war that erupted in 2011, Daraa is both symbolically and militarily significant for the Syrian army, which won a big victory by recapturing the province from the rebels in 2018.
