The Syrian Arab News Agency reported on Wednesday that an "Israeli aggression" was carried out by helicopter over an area in Quneitra province in southern Syria. The attack did not result in any damage. The Israeli military declined to comment on the incident. Earlier on Wednesday, the Syrian army stated that air defenses shot down several Israeli missiles during pre-dawn strikes on the city of Latakia, in a rare attack on the ancestral home of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and near a Russian airbase.
