JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli military said Friday that over the source of the week it had acted in Syria against targets, just days after Syrian state media reported Israeli airstrikes killed 16 people in western Syria and wounded dozens more.
"In southern Syria, the IDF targeted several terrorists who were advancing terror activities against Israel," a statement from the military said Friday but did not give further detail.
The Israeli military rarely comments on allegations that it acts in Syria and declined to comment on a New York Times report that Israeli special forces raided a weapons manufacturing site near the Syria-Lebanon border on Sunday.
On Sunday, Syrian sate news agency SANA reported that Israel launched the strikes on "a number of military sites in the central region", without elaborating on what was struck.
