Israeli warplanes early on Sunday attacked military positions in Syria wounding three soldiers, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

SANA, monitored in the Jordanian capital, said the jet fighters carried out the raid at 7:15 a.m. (Syria local time), firing salvos of air-to-surface missiles, targeting military positions in country sides of the coastal Syrian city Tartous and Hama city.

The missiles were fired by the Israeli fighter jet as they were flying over northern Lebanon, it said.

Syrian air defenses confronted the incoming rockets knocking out a number of them, SANA added.

The attack followed a strike, five days ago, on airport of the northern city Aleppo, where authorities declared that the attack paralyzed operations via the air facility, key for securing incoming aid for the needy.

Tel Aviv has carried out such air strikes repeatedly since outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011.
