Syrian state news agency SANA reported early on Wednesday that an act of "Israeli aggression" was carried out with missiles over the vicinity of the Quneitra governate's countryside in southern Syria.

The missile attack resulted in only physical damage, SANA added.

The Israeli military declined to comment.

For several years, Israel has been mounting attacks on what it has described as Iranian-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran-backed forces, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, have put down a presence since deploying to help President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war which broke out in 2011.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Hamas would not rule Gaza after the war ended and that Israel has destroyed Hamas' military force.

Speaking from within Gaza itself during a visit, Netanyahu also said Israel had not given up on locating the remaining hostages in Gaza.

"Anyone who dares to harm our hostages will have blood on their head. We will hunt you down and get you," he said.
