The military said it carried out the strike after troops saw “a group of armed terrorists” approach the border with an explosive intended to target Israeli troops. Iran’s state-run, English-language satellite news channel Press TV later reported four people had been killed in an Israeli air strike in the Golan Heights, without elaborating. “Any attempt to harm our soldiers and civilians will be met with a determined response like the military action tonight that thwarted a terror attack,” Netanyahu said. Israel is concerned that the possible ouster of embattled President Bashar Assad could push the country into the hands of Islamic State extremists or al Qaeda-linked militants, or plunge the region further into sectarian warfare. The air raid on Darkoush was the deadliest of dozens launched across Syria’s Idlib province, where an opposition offensive has left government forces in the area reeling.
