Israel carried out an airstrike in the vicinity of Syria's Sweida, Syrian state news agency SANA said on Thursday.
Syrian media reports claimed that the strikes targeted military positions of Bedouin tribes, according to Channel 12.
The Bedouin tribes reportedly took over a village in Sweida.
Despite reports indicating the strike was carried out by Israel, Channel 12 reported that the Israeli military had not conducted the strikes.
Syrian tribes from Manbij, Idlib and the north are reportedly recruiting fighters to support the tribal forces in Sweida, Maariv reported, citing Arab networks. To deal with the alleged threat, the Syrian army has reportedly begun setting up checkpoints on the road from Damascus to Sweida in an attempt to prevent militia fighters from reaching the area.
Israel's recent strikes in Syria
On Wednesday, Israel launched airstrikes in Damascus, while also hitting government forces in the south, demanding they withdraw and saying Israel aimed to protect Syrian Druze - part of a small but influential minority that also has followers in Lebanon and Israel.
The United States did not support recent Israeli strikes on Syria, the State Department said on Thursday, adding that Washington made clear its displeasure after tensions escalated and worked quickly to stop it.
