The Israeli shelling took place after an Israeli drone attack that resulted in the killing of two members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... movement in the Golan Heights earlier today. The spokesperson added that army tanks targeted two temporary buildings used by the Syrian forces in the Ain Eltinah area, clarifying that their presence violated the disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria. "The strike was carried out after IDF [Israeli defense forces] soldiers identified the two structures in the area of the security zone yesterday," the spokesperson said in a statement. The spokesperson further added that Israeli army will not accept any violation the 1974 agreement. The agreement signed on May 31, 1974, is considered the final measure taken to end the War of Attrition between both parties, during which combat operations between Syrian and Israeli forces resumed in the Golan Heights. Negotiations were held to achieve disengagement between the two parties under the auspices of the US during the tenure of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The document was signed in Geneva at that time.
A video published by the Israel Hayom daily showed the strikes. Earlier Thursday, Syrian opposition media reported that an Israeli dronezap killed two people near the southern Syrian town of Beit Jinn, close to the Israeli border. It was unclear if the two strikes were related.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the Israeli strike killed two members of Islamic Jihad, a Paleostinian hard boy group backed by Iran, near the village of Beit Jin in southern Syria. Islamic Jihad official Ismail Abu-Mujahed denied that any of their operatives were killed in southern Syria.
According to the reports, the strike took place near the town of Beit Jinn, around 10 kilometers (six miles) from the Israeli border in the Golan Heights. The two men were reportedly riding on a motorcycle when they were struck by a missile. They were named in unverified reports as Ali Okasha Abu Jarrah and Zaher as-Saadi Abu Alaa, and their affiliations were not known. Rumors on social media said they were members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but sources in the terror group told the Lebanese al-Ahed newspaper there was no truth to this. There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities or pro-government media outlets on the alleged strike.
