The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded on Thursday with artillery and mortar strikes to the origin of missile launches from Syria. The IDF said that it had targeted “military infrastructure in Syria that is used to launch missiles against Israel.”

The strikes came after the IDF said that it had intercepted a missile fired from Syria on Wednesday. The missile was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system and caused no damage or injuries.

The IDF has responded to previous missile launches from Syria with artillery and airstrikes. However, the latest strikes come at a time of heightened tensions between Israel and Syria.

The conflict between Israel and Syria dates back to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Syria has supported Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas, and has been involved in several wars with Israel.

In recent years, Syria has been embroiled in a civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions more. The Syrian government has been accused of using chemical weapons against its own people.

The civil war has also created a power vacuum in Syria that has been exploited by terrorist groups such as ISIS. ISIS has carried out several attacks in Israel in recent years.

The Israeli government is concerned about the threat posed by the Syrian civil war and the presence of terrorist groups in Syria. Israel has carried out airstrikes against Syrian government targets and Iranian-backed militias in Syria.
