The Israeli military said it attacked several Syrian military posts on Wednesday in retaliation for a roadside bombing that wounded four of its troops on the occupied Golan Heights on Tuesday. 

The Israeli military said in Jerusalem that its targets included a Syrian military headquarter, a training facility and military facilities on the Syrian-held side of the Golan.

Lt-Col. Peter Lerner, Israeli military spokesman, said an aircraft carried out the overnight strikes.

Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said in a statement that the Syrian army had aided and abetted Tuesday’s attack.

He said Assad regime was held responsible for what happens in its territory.

He warned that if it continued to collaborate with terrorists striving to hurt Israel, then government would keep on exacting a heavy price from it and make it regret its actions.
