The two sites were hit by several tank artillery rounds, state media reported. Asked about the reported Quneitra strikes, an Israeli military spokeswoman declined comment. Israel has mounted attacks in Syria as part of its effort to counter the influence carved out there by Iran, which has supported Syrian President Bashar Assad in the war that erupted in 2011. A senior Israeli official said in September Israel had carried out more than 200 attacks against Iranian targets in Syria in the last two years Iranian and Iran-backed groups including Lebanon’s Hezbollah have deployed into Syria in support of President Bashar Assad’s rule during the war.
