Israel’s military has said it had carried out strikes on military infrastructure inside Syria, as fears grow that its war against Hamas could spur broader regional conflict, AFP reports.

“A short time ago, an IDF fighter jet attacked the launchers from which the launches were made last night from Syrian territory towards Israeli territory,” the military said.

The Israeli jet “struck military infrastructure in Syrian territory”, it said. The military did not provide more details, but according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan News, the strikes took place near Daraa.

Late on Sunday, the Israeli military said it was striking “Hezbollah terrorist targets in Lebanon”, also in response to rocket fire.

Since the Hamas Oct 7 attack, cross-border violence has killed at least 59 people in Lebanon according to an AFP tally. Most were Hezbollah fighters, although there have been four civilians among the victims, including one journalist. Israeli officials have reported four deaths, including one civilian.
