ARK News… Israeli bombing targeted weapons and missile stores belonging to Syrian regime forces and Lebanese Hezbollah militias in the northern countryside of Daraa.

The "Ahrar Houran Gathering" website reported that a bombing, likely Israeli, targeted "al-Kom" warehouses east of the Mahaja Bridge in the northern countryside of Daraa, resulting in explosions that shook the area.

It added that the targeted warehouses are among the most prominent locations where weapons and missiles belonging to the regime forces and Hezbollah militias are stored.

Later, the Israeli army announced in a statement that it had shelled and raided a weapons depot of the Syrian regime forces in the Mahaja area in the Daraa countryside.

It added that the bombing came "in response to the launching of rocket shells from Syrian territory" toward the Golan, indicating that the missiles did not cross the border.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights indicated yesterday evening that armed groups loyal to the Lebanese Hezbollah in the western countryside of Daraa targeted, with rocket shells, the positions of the Israeli forces in the Golan.

According to the Observatory, since the start of the war in Gaza, Israel has targeted sites in Syria 55 times, 36 of them by air and 19 by land.

These strikes resulted in the injury and destruction of about 109 targets, including weapons and ammunition depots, headquarters, centers, and vehicles. It caused "the killing of 111 soldiers, in addition to wounding 58 others, including with varying injuries."
