"Yesterday I held security consultations in wake of the firing at the Golan Heights in which I instructed the IDF to take strong action," Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday.
"We will not tolerate firing at our territory and will respond with great force to any aggression against us," he added.
At 3:22 a.m., Syrian air defenses immediately shot down "hostile air targets" coming from the direction of the Golan which were destined for Syrian "sites southwest of Damascus," SANA reported.
Then at 4:10 a.m., three soldiers were killed and seven more injured in the area of Quneitra, SANA added without specifying their nationality. Material losses were also reported.
A UK-based conflict monitor confirmed the 10 casualties, adding that it occured after two missiles believed to have been fired by Lebanese Hezbollah fell in the Golan Heights.
The three killed were Syrians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
It reported that Israeli warplanes were involved in the deadly attack. They targeted warehouses of Iranian fighters and Lebanese Hezbollah in al-Husseiniyah and al-Kiswah.
"This has been my consistent policy and this is what we will continue to do for the security of Israel," Netanyahu added.
In March, President Donald Trump announced the United States would recognize Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights.
The Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad has been backed by Iran, particularly in the south, and Russia elsewhere.
