JERUSALEM ? Anti-aircraft missiles were launched from Syria into Israeli-controlled territory early on Friday, following a series of Israeli airstrikes inside Syria, the Israeli military said.
The military said its warplanes struck several targets in Syria and were back in Israeli-controlled airspace when several anti-aircraft missiles were launched from Syria toward the Israeli jets.
Google MapsThe firing of missiles from Syria toward Israeli aircraft is extremely rare, though Israeli military officials said there was a shoulder-fired missile a few months ago.
Israeli aerial defense systems intercepted one of the missiles, the army said, but did not elaborate.
Israel is widely believed to have carried out a number of airstrikes on advanced weapons systems in Syria ? including Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles and Iranian-made missiles, as well as Hezbollah positions ? but it rarely confirms them.
