Israel says its tanks hit two structures used by Syrian army in Golan area

Israel's military said on Thursday that its tanks struck two "temporary structures" used by the Syrian army in the area of the Golan Heights in violation of a 1974 disengagement accord.

"The strike was carried out after IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers identified the two structures in the area of the security zone yesterday," the military said in a statement.

"The IDF holds the Syrian regime responsible for all activities occurring within its territory and will not allow any attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty," it said.
