Suspected Israeli airstrikes hit Syria for the second day in a row today.

An Israeli helicopter launched a missile at an unspecified target in the southern province of Quneitra after midnight, according to the Syrian state SANA news agency. The outlet did not report any damage or casualties.

Syria also reported multiple Israeli airstrikes yesterday on its western coast that killed one person and injured several others.
