epa04590812 Smoke rises next to the village of Ghajar on the Israeli-Lebanese border, as a result of the fire exchange between the Israeli and Hezbollah militant group next to Har Dov area, on the Israeli-Lebanese border, 28 January 2015. An Israeli military vehicle was hit by an anti-tank missile near the border with Lebanon, the army said. Israeli emergency services said there were injuries in the incident. Israel responded by firing several rockets toward south-eastern Lebanon, according to a Lebanese security source. Israeli troops had been operating in the area, local media said, searching for possible tunnels dug by the Hezbollah militant group.

Four civilians were killed and 21 injured in Israeli missile strikes near the Syrian cities of Damascus and Homs, Syrian state media said.

The Syrian military responded to missiles launched by Israeli warplanes, the Sana news agency said.

Israeli jets targeted military bases from Lebanese airspace at around midnight on Sunday, it reported.

A number of the missiles were intercepted by Syrian air defences, Sana added.

Israel’s military declined to comment on the report.
