ISRAEL
Strikes 9 Military targets in SYRIA . . .
Nine Syrian military targets have been
hit by Israeli jets and guided missiles, the IDF says, claiming it was a
decisive response to a series of cross-border shootings to protect the citizens
of Israel.
The strikes on targets in Golan Heights
were carried out shortly after midnight, Haaretz reports citing an IDF
official, who called it a direct response to Sunday’s deadly incident when an
anti-tank projectile fired from Syrian territory struck near the border fence
on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
“The shooting [on Sunday] was a very
serious act of provocation, and a continuation of a series of attacks carried
out over the past several months against IDF forces throughout the border
region, and in this area specifically,” the statement reads.
A military command headquarters
reportedly was among the targets hit in Syria.
Earlier on Sunday, in response to the
killing of Israeli teen Mohammed Karaka, IDF artillery pounded military
outposts on Syrian territory, with speculations about possible strikes against
other targets.
The killed teenager was an Arab citizen
of Israel, accompanying his father, a Defense Ministry civilian contractor, to
the Golan, the ministry said, uncertain whether the boy was 15 or 13 years old.
The father and two more people we injured in the incident.

Ia tidak jelas yang sebenarnya dilanda
peluru berpandu anti-kereta kebal yang melanda sempadan Israel dari kawasan
yg dipertandingkan oleh tentera Syria dan pemberontak.
Hubungan antara Syria dan Israel telah
tegang sejak perang saudara meletus di negara ini lebih daripada 3 tahun lalu.
Dirobekkan oleh puak bertelagah
dalaman, banyak menembak rentas sempadan dan serangan telah menjadi kejadian
yang biasa berlaku di Israel dikawal Golan Heights, yang Tel Aviv terjamin
selepas Perang Yom Kippur tahun 1973.
IDF serangan balas udara telah
dilaporkan pada bulan Januari 2013, apabila kapal terbang Israel didakwa
melanda jauh di dalam wilayah Syria, dilaporkan mensasarkan senjata
anti-pesawat di luar Damsyik.
Pesawat perang Israel juga melanda
pangkalan udara-pertahanan Syria berhampiran bandar pelabuhan Latakia pada
bulan Oktober 2013, seperti yg disahkan oleh pegawai-pegawai Amerika
Syarikat, dengan beberapa pakar membuat spekulasi bahawa sasaran itu peralatan
peluru berpandu yang mungkin telah dipindahkan ke Lubnan Hizbullah.
Pada bulan Mei 2013, media Syria
melaporkan "serangan udara Israel" mensasarkan kedudukan tentera di
Damsyik, berikutan pengeboman di Rif Dimashq governorate. Pada bulan Julai
2013, RT melaporkan bahawa Israel menggunakan pangkalan tentera Turki untuk
melancarkan salah satu serangan udara baru-baru ini terhadap Syria dari laut,
seminggu selepas 5 Julai serangan depot di Latakia.
It was not clear who exactly fired the
anti-tank missile that hit the Israeli border from an area contested by the
Syrian army and the rebels.
Relations between Syria and Israel have
been tense since the civil war erupted in the country more than three years
ago.
Ripped by internal warring factions,
numerous cross-border shooting and shelling have become a common occurrence in
the Israeli controlled Golan Heights, which Tel Aviv secured following the Yom
Kippur War of 1973.
IDF aerial retaliatory strikes were
reported in January 2013, when Israeli planes allegedly struck deep within
Syrian territory, reportedly targeting anti-aircraft weaponry outside Damascus.
Israeli warplanes also struck a Syrian
air-defense base near the port city of Latakia in October 2013, as confirmed by
US officials, with some experts speculating that the target was missile
equipment that may have been transferred to Lebanese Hezbollah.
In May 2013, Syrian media reported
"Israeli airstrikes" targeting military positions in Damascus,
following bombing in Rif Dimashq governorate. In July 2013, RT reported that
Israel used a Turkish military base to launch one of its recent airstrikes
against Syria from the sea, a week after July 5 depot attack in Latakia.
