Part 7/11:
This was a retaliatory move after two projectiles fired into the Golan Heights prompted Israel to carry out these strikes. The Syrian opposition monitor group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported violent explosions, though the total casualties remain unclear.

Syria’s government dismissed responsibility, accusing unknown actors of trying to destabilize the country and denying any hostility toward Israel. They attributed the rocket fire to a faction called the Martyr Muhammad Def Brigades, a little-known group that claims links to the late Kamas military commander. The group’s online footage, posted on Telegram, appears to show the impact, but independent verification is lacking.
