During the night to Tuesday, the Israeli military announced that it had carried out airstrikes against targets in Syria.
"Just a short while ago, the Israeli military struck against the remaining military capability at the Tadmur and T4 military bases", the message read.
A few hours later, local authorities in the province of Daraa in southern Syria reported that Israeli attacks had also taken place there, and that five people had been killed by Israeli artillery fire against the city of Kuwayya.
Israel's new attacks come after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, during a visit to Jerusalem on Monday, warned that the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Syria could exacerbate the situation in the region.
Israel has the right to self-defense against terrorist attacks, regardless of whether it is from Hamas, the Huthi movement or Hezbollah. But military actions must be proportionate and Israeli attacks in Syria and Lebanon risk leading to further escalation, said Kallas at a press conference together with Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
Since the Islamist HTS movement overthrew Bashar al-Assad's regime in December, Israel has carried out several hundred attacks against targets on Syrian soil. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in February that southern Syria must be completely demilitarized.
