An alleged Israeli missile strike targeted the Qurs al-Nafl site in Quneitra in southwest Syria near the border with Israel early Wednesday morning, according to Syrian and Iranian reports.

According to the Iran-affiliated Lebanese UNews agency, four missiles were fired toward the site and no casualties were reported.

The area was last targeted in August, when Al-Mayadeen reported that an Israeli missile strike targeted the site. Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported at the time that two sites were targeted in the strike: one observation point belonging to Hezbollah and another site belonging to the Syrian military.

Shortly after the strike in August, flyers warning locals against working with Hezbollah were reportedly dropped in the area.

The last airstrike blamed on Israel in Syria was reported in late April as strikes targeted a number of sites near Damascus.

Earlier this month, local Syrian media reported an airstrike that targeted a convoy belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), killing an officer in a vehicle, although the reports were split on whether Israel or the international coalition led by the US were behind the strike. Syrian state media did not report the strike.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned on Tuesday that the movement was on alert as the IDF conducted the “Chariots of Fire” drill, the largest exercise the IDF has carried out in decades. Nasrallah stated that he had received messages that Israel was not interested in attacking Lebanon, but added that “we do not trust the Israeli enemy.”

Hezbollah published a video shortly after Nasrallah’s speech showing Nasrallah warning that “any mistake, any stupidity, any aggressive action, large or small, that the Israeli enemy could conduct will be responded to swiftly and directly.” The video featured Hebrew subtitles and showed a number of different missiles.
