Israel launched strikes along the Golan Heights border region, reported Syrian state media on Monday evening.

Israel Defense Forces’ tanks struck a razed hospital and an observation position in Quneitra, creating only material damage, according to local Syrian media.

Tanks targeted numerous regime posts in Quneitra linked to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the report added.

“If confirmed, the Israeli strikes would be the first on regime positions along the Golan Heights border since mid-2018,” reported i24 News.

The IDF has not confirmed or denied responsibility for the strikes.

Israel reopened its side of the border crossing in Quneitra a few months ago after a joint agreement with Syria and the United States, who called on the Mideast nations to allow peacekeepers to work in the area.

“Even if she had resigned just beforehand, the immediate transition from an independent U.N. mandate to partisan political office would still raise serious questions about her independence and impartiality,” according to Hillel Neuer.
“We’re seeing increasing links, perhaps increasing motivations, when it comes to terror plots,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
The Toronto Police Service released a photo of the suspected vehicle and asked witnesses or those with relevant dash-camera or security footage to come forward.
“She’ll be ready to deliver on day one,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said of Haley Stevens, who has AIPAC’s support.
Emily Hilliard of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told JNS that the agency “will take appropriate action whenever there is evidence of fraud, abuse or other violations of federal requirements.”
Describing the move as “unprecedented and highly controversial,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it ties “the hands of his successor” and degrades the U.N.’s “rules-based order.”
