The Israel Defense Forces struck Syrian army sites on Tuesday night in response to rocket fire toward the southern Golan Heights, the army said.

Fighter jets hit “military infrastructure and mortar launchers” after two rockets were launched at Israeli territory from Syria; both fell in open areas, the IDF stated.

The Syrian army said on Wednesday morning that eight soldiers were killed and seven others wounded in the strikes in Daraa in southwestern Syria.

Sirens went off in several agricultural communities in the southern Golan Heights during the rocket fire from Syria. There were no reports of injury or damage.

Following the incident, power outages were reported in several of the communities, according to Israel’s Kan News. However, there was no indication that the two events were connected.

The IDF initially responded to the attack with artillery fire at the source of the rockets.
