The raids attributed to Israel by Damascus, at dawn on Thursday, targeted the Quneitra Governorate, southern Syria, without causing any casualties, according to official media reports.

The strikes come 24 hours after a similar attack in Latakia Governorate, the stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad's family, which left one civilian dead and 6 wounded.

And the official news agency (SANA) pointed to "reports of an Israeli aggression carried out by a helicopter against one of the areas of Quneitra without any casualties."

On the other hand, human rights activists reported "Israeli strikes targeted the 90th Brigade and military points of the regime forces in the vicinity of the town of Jubata Al-Khashab in the northern Quneitra countryside, near the occupied Golan."

At least one civilian was killed at dawn on Wednesday as a result of Israeli raids on several targets in the coastal Lattakia governorate and its environs, and Damascus announced that its air defenses had repelled them, according to official media.

Multiple attacks

During the past years, Tel Aviv launched dozens of air strikes on Syria, targeting in particular army sites and Iranian targets and others of the Lebanese Hezbollah, according to the Israeli account.

Last March, the Syrian regime said that Israel launched an attack on targets in the vicinity of the capital, Damascus, on Tuesday, but the air defenses dropped a number of missiles.

At the time, local sources told Al-Jazeera that an Israeli helicopter bombed a site of pro-Iranian militias in the Quneitra countryside in southern Syria.

In February, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz told supporters of his party that Israel was taking measures "almost weekly" to prevent Iran from entrenching itself in Syria, as he put it.

In September 2018, the Syrian air defenses were activated to counter the Israeli missiles in this governorate, and the Syrian air defenses accidentally shot down a Russian plane, killing the soldiers on board.

Tel Aviv rarely admits to carrying out strikes in Syria, but it will repeat that it will continue to oppose what it describes as Iran's attempts to establish its military presence near it.
