Projectile event in Syrian Arab Republic on Thu 19th October 2023

As part of the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, the Israeli Armed Forces carried out new airstrikes in Syria. The targets of the strikes were artillery installations of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) located in the Quneitra area.Quneitra, a city in southwestern Syria, is of strategic importance as it lies on the border with Israel in the Golan Heights. This region has long been the epicenter of military clashes and tensions between the two states. According to preliminary data, the reason for the strikes was the use of these heights to adjust the shelling of Israeli territory.While there is no exact information about losses from the SAA, the destruction of several artillery installations has been confirmed. These Israeli actions could be a reaction to earlier incidents on the border or part of a broader campaign against Iranian and pro-Syrian forces inside Syria. It should be noted that despite the fact that today Israel is officially at war with the Hamas group, a huge region is involved in the conflict.
