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.

One professor who served on the committee that created the report said the Trump administration’s accusations of antisemitism at Yale “were a pretty serious exaggeration.”
“Amid the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents across Canada, this report represents an important contribution to the development of effective solutions,” the Israeli embassy in Canada stated.
“Activities specifically done to harass or intimidate people, especially as they’re entering into a religious institution to go worship, are unacceptable,” Rep. Tom Suozzi told JNS.
“Relationships tied to military conflict are far more likely to be seen as burdens,” the survey stated.
