"Yesterday (Sunday), Iranian Quds forces operating in Syrian territory launched a surface-to-surface rocket from Syrian territory aimed at the northern Golan Heights in Israel," the army said.

Addressing the subject, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel had a "permanent policy: to harm Iran's entrenchment in Syria and to hurt anyone who tries to hurt us."
The army said the rocket attack was proof of Iran's "real intentions of its entrenchment in Syria, which endangers the State of Israel and regional stability."
It stated that it holds the Syrian regime responsible for everything that takes place in the country.
