The army launched missile attacks on ISIL’s positions in Hawz al-Yarmouk region in Southwestern Dara’a.

One of the missiles was an advanced Russia-made Tochka ballistic missile that struck its target, causing sirens in the occupied Golan to start.

The sources further said that the Israeli Air Defense units operated to intercept the missile but failed.

In the meantime, Israeli media quoted a military analyst as saying that the Israeli air defense system of David’s Sling Missile System failed to intercept the Syrian Tochka missile in its first experience of facing such attacks.

The Israeli media further said that one of the David’s Sling missiles was detonated automatically in the Golan, while the fate of the second missile is unknown even to the Israeli air force.
