It was claimed that the attack was carried out in response to 2 UAVs launched from the direction of Syria toward the Israeli city of Eilat on the Red Sea coast.

According to the report by the Syrian administration's news agency SANA, 1 Syrian soldier was killed and 3 Syrian soldiers were wounded in the attack on military bases in the south and a building in the Kafr Sousa district of Damascus.
