Friday 17-March-2017

Israeli army warplanes were targeted by anti-aircraft missiles in return for raids launched on Syrian targets the Israeli occupation army announced on Friday morning.

An Israeli army spokesman said Israeli warplanes struck Syrian targets overnight before they were targeted by anti-aircraft missiles. One of the missiles was intercepted by the Israeli anti-missile systems.

At daybreak Friday Jordanian nationals said a rocket slammed into Irbid city causing no injuries.

Sometime earlier sounds of heavy blasts were heard near Irbid and in the occupied Palestinian territories. Red Sirens were also heard in Israeli settlement outposts.

Hebrew-speaking news outlets said the Israeli army expressed fears that one of the missiles might have hit the Jordan Valley.
