DAMASCUS/DUBAI: The Israeli army said on Tuesday it had struck overnight military headquarters and sites housing weapons and equipment in southern Syria.

In its latest series of attacks on Syria’s military infrastructure, Israel also targeted radars and surveillance assets used in aerial intelligence assessments in the southern region of the country, the army said.

There were no immediate reports on casualties.

Since the overthrow of president Bashar Assad in December, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes in Syria.

"The Israeli occupation aircraft carried out several strikes on the surroundings of the towns of Jbab and Izraa in the north of Daraa," the state news agency SANA said.

Most Israeli strikes since Assad’s fall have targeted facilities and weapons held by the toppled government’s forces in what Israel has said was a bid to prevent the assets from falling into hostile hands.

According to the Syrian observatory, Israeli aircrafts carried out 17 strikes on Monday night, targeting several positions of the former Syrian army, including an observation platform and tanks.
