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.

The move would reverse a decision by the Central American nation two decades ago to move its Israeli embassy to Tel Aviv.
Israel’s top diplomat said that it is “outrageous” to draw a moral equivalence between Hamas leaders and Israeli citizens.
The U.S. administration expects “conversation to continue” on Chinese revenue and dual-use exports benefiting Tehran, a senior U.S. official said before meetings in China.
“It’s a glaring double standard,” the New Jersey Democratic congressman, who is Jewish, wrote in the “New York Times.”
“The targeting of U.S. service members and partners will not go unanswered,” the U.S. State Department said.
One of six detectives to be awarded by the ADL told JNS of New York City’s recent changes to hate crime reports that “you can’t have, ‘Ok, this is a robbery and this is a ‘reported’ robbery.”
