Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Harasta and the surrounding area were hit by at least 10 airstrikes.
SANA also reported that 4 people were martyred in the strikes on Hama Countryside.
It added that Izraa and Mothbeen in Daraa Countryside were also hit by Israeli airstrikes.
For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority said the army identified targets to strike in Syria with the approval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The Israeli military said in a statement that it had attacked a military site in Syria, as well as “anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missile infrastructure”.
Since President Bashar Assad’s government collapsed in December, the Israeli occupation repeatedly targets areas across the country. It has been also plagued by a widespread Israeli occupation across large swathes of the country’s south.
Recently, the Israeli occupation has been reportedly exploiting sectarian violence against Druze community to justify a scheme aimed at occupying more Syrian territory in the south, under the pretext of protecting the Druze.
