According to the Syrian Army's 90th Brigade, an Israeli warplane bombed the SAA's positions at the town of Qaws Al-Sandiyanah, which is located approximately 1km south of Harfah.
As a result of the Israeli airstrike, the Syrian Army's 130mm field artilley gun was destroyed - no casualties reported.
The Israeli airstrike comes just hours after the Syrian Army advanced against the Al-Qaeda linked Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham terrorist group in the Beit Jinn pocket of the Golan Heights.
Comment: The Israelis regularly get their Al-Qaeda assets to fire stray munitions into Israeli-occupied territory to then use as justification to attack the Syrians - and protect Al-Qaeda. See:

Russian troops take control of key gas field from Kurdish forces in Deir Ezzor
Moments ago, reports came in that Russian Ground Forces troops entered the Koneko Gas Field and its attached company headquarters area in eastern Deir Ezzor province at the invitation of Kurdish-led forces.
The information, disseminated by Syrian military reports, claims that an agreement has been brokered between Russia and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces whereby the Syrian government will be allowed to assume control over the gas field.
If true, then the scope of any backdoor agreements reached between Moscow and Washington regarding the transfer of energy assets held by Kurdish-led militias back to the rightful ownership of the Damascus government may yet encompass wider dimensions (i.e. future transfers) - although there is absolutely no evidence to suggest this is in fact the case.
Nonetheless, the unexpected transfer of the Koneko Gas Field by the SDF to the Syrian government does now raise questions as to whether or not the hitherto competition between the Syrian Arab Army and Kurdish-led militias to seize control of the much larger Al-Omar Oil Field from ISIS further south is still on.
