An Israeli aircraft targeted a car near the town of Khan Arnabeh in Quneitra governorate, southern Syria, resulting in casualties.

Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Quneitra reported that Israel targeted the car by air today, Thursday, September 12, resulting in fatalities, without knowing their identities.

Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelled agricultural lands west of the town of al-Rafid in southern Quneitra near the disengagement line, injuring one person who was taken to Martyr Mamdouh Abaza Hospital for treatment.

Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Daraa observed Israeli artillery shelling in the western countryside of the governorate on Wednesday evening, coinciding with the launching of flares in the occupied Syrian Golan, followed by an explosion on the Syrian side of the border.

The Israeli artillery also shelled the vicinity of the villages of Jamla and Abidin in western Daraa with several shells and launched flares in the sky over the area again, according to the correspondent.

According to Daraa 24, a website specializing in covering news of the governorate, Israel launched flares on the border strip with Syria from the Yarmouk Basin in western Daraa on Wednesday, coinciding with explosions heard in the area, the nature of which remains unclear.

Local radio station Sham FM quoted a local source in the area saying two people were killed by the Israeli targeting of a car east of Khan Arnabeh in Quneitra, without specifying their identities.

The Syrian regime has not officially announced the successive strikes, nor has Israel claimed responsibility for the shelling until the time of writing this report.

Israeli media, including Yediot Aharonot, only reported the news of the shelling based on reports without providing further details.

The targeting came days after widespread shelling by Israeli warplanes on military sites in Syria. At the time, the Ministry of Defense of the regime said that Israeli shelling from the direction of northwestern Lebanon targeted several military sites in the central region, without specifying these sites precisely.

Reuters reported, quoting two regional intelligence sources, that a major military center for manufacturing chemical weapons involving Iranian military personnel near Masyaf was shelled multiple times.

Israel targets in Syria infrastructure and headquarters of Iran-backed militant groups, which may be deep within Syrian territory, while repeatedly responding to sources of gunfire from southern Syria.
