Syrian state media reported on Wednesday that Israel had launched a rocket at a school in the country’s Quneitra Governorate, causing material damage but no casualties.

According to the SANA news agency, the Israeli strike, which took place at 12:05 a.m., targeted a school in al-Hurryia village in northern Quneitra.

Israel had launched several attacks in recent months on civilian vehicles in towns and villages in Quneitra, SANA reported.

According to a U.K.-based Syrian war monitor, the early morning attack targeted a school hosting Iranian forces and groups loyal to the Lebanese Shi’ite terror group Hezbollah.

Citing “reliable sources,” the pro-opposition group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that there were “confirmed reports of casualties” following the strike, which it also attributed to Israel.

The group noted that Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias are known to be very active in the Quneitra region.

The facilities contained bombs, rifles and other equipment intended for use against Israeli troops.
“Wherever these terrorists are, death and destruction follow,” envoy Yechiel Leiter posted to X.
“In seconds, an ordinary evening turned into sirens, panic, and a race for shelter. All while a ceasefire is supposedly in place.”
“I have instructed the IDF to expand the incursion in Lebanon,” the premier said.
The IDF said that the air force was striking Hezbollah command centers in Southern Lebanon.
