Media run by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS)-led administration in Syria reported that Wednesday’s attack targeted former army barracks in Kiswa.
Meanwhile, Syrian military sources said Israeli forces used four helicopters to make an air-landing at the barracks.
The occupational army had spent more than two hours on the site, bringing in dozens of soldiers and search equipment, sources added.
However, there were no reports of clashes between Israeli and Syrian forces.
The attack came the day after an Israeli drone struck near Kiswa and the day after killing six Syrian soldiers.
The HTS administration’s foreign ministry condemned Tuesday’s fatal attack as “a serious violation of international law” and “a clear violation of (Syrian) sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
“It also comes in the context of repeated, aggressive policies pursued by the Israeli occupation, which aims to undermine the safety and stability of the region,” the statement said.
The ministry also called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to assume legal and moral responsibility that requires Israel to stop violations against Syria.
Israel has launched hundreds of air attacks in Syria since December 2024, when HTS-led extremists announced the collapse of government president Bashar al-Assad following a rapid two-week onslaught.
Israel also expanded its Syrian occupation by seizing a so-called buffer zone that separates the occupied Golan Heights from other parts of the Arab state, in violation of the 1974 Liberation Agreement.
Experts believe that the HTS’ lack of action and the overture to normalization with Tel Aviv gave the regime a great deal of room to steal more Syrian lands and steal acts of attack on the country.
