DAMASCUS, Syria – An Israeli gunship opened fire on a house on the edge of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Monday, injuring one person, Syrian state television reported.
Television said the unidentified man, believed to be a civilian, was taken to hospital for treatment following the attack in the southern Quneitra region.
The attack came days after a similar attack by an Israeli helicopter on Quneitra that left no casualties, according to Syrian state media. And on May 5, Israel fired missiles into northwestern Syria, killing one and wounding six.
Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iranian-linked military targets in Syria over the years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
