In a statement, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said that while carrying out operations in the Golan Heights, troops "identified a number of suspects at military positions adjacent to the force's location. The force fired flares and warning shots" from tanks, "causing them to flee to Syrian territory."
A reporter identified with Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime reported that IDF tanks had attacked sites in al-Hurriyah in the Quneitra Governorate.
Media outlets aligned with Syrian opposition forces reported the attack had targeted Iranian militia sites near the village. According to a report by Al Arabiya, the sites had been used by Hezbollah.
According to the reports, helicopters and drones were seen overhead near the border with Israel. It remains unclear if anyone was injured in the incident or property was damaged.
