Israel attacked a Syrian anti-aircraft position after it fired at an Israeli warplane on Monday, the Israeli military said.
It issued the statement after the Syrian state news agency SANA said Israel targeted a military position in Syria's southern Quneitra province, killing one fighter and wounding another.
The Monday report was carried on the Syrian state TV al-Ikhbariya and said one military vehicle was also damaged. It said the rocket landed in Tal al-Shaar in Quneitra on the edge of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Syrian media had reported earlier this month two incidents in which Israeli strikes hit inside southern Syria.
Israel does not usually comment on reports concerning its strikes in neighboring Syria, though it has recently acknowledged striking Iranian targets there.
