Israeli warplanes hit Syrian forces after failed "rebel" offensive

Israeli fighter jets bombed today afternoon several sites for the Syrian government forces in the southern province of Quneitra.


The attack was carried out a short time after the Syrian Army and pro-government fighters repelled a major offensive launched by jihadi groups on the predominantly-Druze village of Hadar.

According to a military source, 4 air-to-surface missiles targeted Tal Al-Sha'ar, without reporting any casualties.

Syrian Army positions in Quneitra have recurrently come under Israeli warplanes attacks; an aggression seen by the Syrian government as a blatant and explicit support for Islamist rebels fighting under the banner of al-Qaeda.
