Israeli media reported that a drone probably carrying explosives launched from Syria was shot down late Wednesday evening south of the settlement of Eliad, in the occupied syrian territory, causing no injuries but some material damage.

The Israeli occupation army told AFP that the drone had crashed near Eliad, but gave no further details.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a loose formation of armed groups, said in a statement it had hit a "vital target" south of Eliad with "appropriate weaponry".

Israel occupied the Syrian Golan Heights in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed the territory in 1981 in a move not recognized internationally.

Israel's bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza has killed at least 21,110 people, mostly women and children, and injured more than 54,000, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Since Israel's war on Gaza began, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against US and international coalition forces in Iraq and Syria.

Washington has counted 103 attacks against its forces in Iraq and Syria since 17 October, according to a US military official.

Most of those attacks have been claimed by factions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq that oppose US support for Israel in its war on the Gaza Strip.

But the group has so far claimed few direct attacks against Israeli interests.
