JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli aircraft attacked military targets in Syria on Monday, an Israeli military statement said, describing the strikes as a response to an attempt by an enemy squad to place a bomb on the border fence.

Among targets of the air strikes were Syrian observation posts, intelligence collection systems, anti-aircraft batteries and command-and-control bases, the Israeli statement said.
